Hi everyone,<br><br>Today we have merged the scifio branch of bio-formats.git to develop and master. There is a new component in components/scifio.<br>
<br>This splits Bio-Formats into two parts: SCIFIO core, and Bio-Formats.<br><br>The SCIFIO core ("SCientific Image Formats Input and Output") represents the core infrastructure for file format readers and writers, as well as open reader, writer and codec implementations.<br>
<br>The remaining Bio-Formats classes represent proprietary file format (PFF) implementations for life sciences and microscopy in particular.<br><br>The SCIFIO project is continuing on the scifio-refactor branch; see:<br>
<a href="http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/7076">http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/7076</a><br><br>For any projects using loci_tools.jar, effectively nothing has changed.<br><br>For
any projects using bio-formats.jar, you will now need to include an
additional dependency, scifio.jar, in your classpath as well. If you use
Maven, it is probably sufficient to reference scifio as a compile-time
dependency, and bio-formats as a runtime one, unless you rely on specific
PFF classes directly (in which case you will need to keep bio-formats as a compile-time
dependency too).<br>
<br>Please let us know if you have any questions or issues about it!<br><br>Regards,<br>Curtis<br><br>
