Dear All,

Today we have released the binary builds of Bio-Formats-C++ 5.1.5,
together with the ome-cmake-superbuild package used for building
Bio-Formats-C++ and its dependencies on Windows and other platforms.

See http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats-cpp/5.1.5/ for links
to the source releases, documentation and API reference, and binary
builds for a number of platforms which now include Windows with VS2013.

Bio-Formats changes:

   • TIFF strip/tile row and column calculations corrected to compute
the correct row and column count
   • several compiler warnings removed (false positive warnings in
third-party headers disabled, and additional warnings fixed)
   • it is now possible to build with Boost 1.59 and compile with a C++
14 compiler

CMake Super-Build changes:

   • Upgrade Boost to 1.59
   • Use tar source release; this permits building on platforms which
could not unpack the source zip
   • Add recursive dependency addition; this makes the superbuild much
more adaptable for the use of optional and version-specific packages,
and the addition of new packages
   • Add required Python modules (genshi and sphinx) and their dependencies

CMake Super-Build components:

     bioformats 5.1.5
     boost 1.59
     bzip2 1.0.6
     icu 55.1
     libpng 1.6.17
     py-docutils 0.12
     py-genshi 0.7
     py-jinja2 2.7.3
     py-markupsafe 0.23
     py-pygments 2.0.2
     py-setuptools 18.3.2
     py-sphinx 1.2.3
     tiff 4.0.6
     xerces-c 3.1.2
