Dear All,
Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.0, a full production-ready release of our
new major development line for OMERO. With this release, the 5.1 line
enters maintenance mode and will only be updated for security issues. This
release drops support for Java 1.6; features major upgrading of OMERO.web
and re-working of the Java Gateway; and introduces new user features and
many fixes and performance improvements:
* improved support for many file formats via Bio-Formats 5.1.5
* faster import for images with a large number of ROIs
* performance improvements for OMERO.web including faster data tree loading
* Java Web Start has been dropped, it is no longer possible to launch the
desktop clients from the web
* reworked display of metadata and annotations in both OMERO.web and
OMERO.insight
* many bugs fixed
Developer and system administrator updates include:
* the OMERO web framework no longer bundles a copy of the Django package,
this dependency must be installed manually
* updated jstree to 3.08 and now using json for all tree loading to
substantially improve performance
* removed FastCGI support, OMERO.web can be deployed using WSGI
* configuration property :property:`omero.graphs.wrap` which allowed
switching back to the old server code for moving and deleting data has now
been removed. You should migrate to using the new graph request operations
before 5.3 when the old request operations will be removed
* introduced new Java Gateway to facilitate the development of Java
applications
* aligned OMERO Rect with OME-XML schema for ROI. Clients using the
OMERO.blitz server API to work with ROIs will need to be updated
