Hi-

The OME project is pleased to announce the release of
OMERO3.0-Beta2.2.  OMERO3 is a Java Enterprise application designed
for the management and visualization of digital microscopy data.
OMERO3 includes both server and client applications that install on
most operating systems.  OMERO.server ships with a JBOSS Application
Server, PostgreSQL RDMS, and uses three client applications:
Java-based OMERO.insight and OMERO.importer, and a web browser-based
OMERO.webadmin.

All OMERO resources are available at the OME software download page:

http://openmicroscopy.org/downloads/

For new initiates, User Guides for OMERO client applications are
available at our MilestoneDownloads page:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/MilestoneDownloads

Screencast videos showing installation and use are at:

http://openmicroscopy.org/howto

OMERO installation on OS X is all by Mac packages and should be
automatic.  There are manual install instructions for Linux and OS X
geeks.

Please let us know any problems, wishes etc.  In general, please use
the ome-users mailing list-- for more info, see

http://openmicroscopy.org/getting-involved/

We have been using these applications in our lab for the last few
weeks, so hopefully have most of the bugs.  If we've missed anything,
do let us know.

PLEASE NOTE:  Upgrading an OMERO.server from Beta-2 to Beta-2.2
requires an update of the database.  See
http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroUpgrade for more
info.
