<div style="font-weight:normal; font-family:Helvetica">Today, The OME Consortium (<a href="http://openmicroscopy.org/site/about/development-teams">http://openmicroscopy.org/site/about/development-teams</a>), is proud to release OMERO-4.4.0-RC1.</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal; font-family:Helvetica"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal; font-family:Helvetica">This is a release candidate, so it's still a bit buggy but has been through about 3 weeks of serious testing by the OME team. OMERO-Beta4.4.0 focuses on updates to Permissions, a revamped web UI, and a
number of other changes.</div>
<div style="font-weight:normal; font-family:Helvetica"><br>
