Dear All-

Today, The OME Consortium (
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/about/development-teams), is proud to
release OMERO-Beta4.2.1.

This is a point release, focussing on fixes for delete functionality, and
significant improvements in the way OMERO.web production server is deployed.


For full details of the OMERO Beta4.2.1 release, see:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/milestone/OMERO-Beta4.2.1

Some highlights:

1. Substantial improvement in Delete performance.

2. Significant improvement in deployment of OMERO.web for production.

...and lots more!  (Lost and lots of other stuff-- we simply couldn't help
ourselves.)

The software is available at http://openmicroscopy.org

The full list of features in OMERO, including new features in the OMERO
Beta4.2.1, is at http://openmicroscopy.org/site/products/feature-list
Most features are accompanied by a short movie that shows that functionality
in action.

We have a number of other features we will expose (including extensions to
the much talked about OMERO.fs) in point releases that follow over the next
few months.

Our feedback system, OMERO.qa (http://qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk) is a
facility users and developers can use to log comments and exceptions.
OMERO.qa supports uploading of problematic data files, and tracking of
responses to any user queries.  Moreover, OMERO.qa includes a demo feature:
in collaboration with Urban Liebel at  Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, we
are providing demo accounts for OMERO.  Use the Demo link at qa to contact
us if you are interested in this.

As always, thanks for your support.

Cheers,

Jason
