<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Today we have made OMERO and Bio-Formats version 5.1.0-m2 public, see <a href="http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m2/">http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m2/</a></div>
<div>and</div>
<div><a href="http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-m2/">http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-m2/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the second of three development milestones that we're releasing in the lead up to 5.1.0. It is intended as a preview of the major and ongoing API and model changes. <b>The code is definitely <u>use at your own risk</u> and is only intended as a
developer preview to help you update your code before the final release Q1/2015.</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Model changes:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>units support, meaning units now have real enums</li><li>minor fixes for model changes introduced in m1</li></ul>
<div>The units changes mean that the following fields have changed:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li>Plane.PositionX, Y, Z; Plane.DeltaT; Plane.ExposureTime</li><li>Shape.StrokeWidth; Shape.FontSize</li><li>DetectorSettings.Voltage; DetectorSettings.ReadOutRate</li><li>ImagingEnvironment.Temperature; ImagingEnvironment.AirPressure</li><li>LightSourceSettings.Wavelength</li><li>Plate.WellOriginX, Y</li><li>Objective.WorkingDistance</li><li>Pixels.PhysicalSizeX, Y, Z; Pixels.TimeIncrement</li><li>StageLabel.X, Y, Z</li><li>LightSource.Power</li><li>Detector.Voltage</li><li>WellSample.PositionX, Y</li><li>Channel.EmissionWavelength; Channel.PinholeSize; </li><li>Channel.ExcitationWavelength</li><li>TransmittanceRange.CutOutTolerance; TransmittanceRange.CutInTolerance;</li><li>TransmittanceRange.CutOut; TransmittanceRange.CutIn</li><li>Laser.RepetitionRate; Laser.Wavelength
<div><br>
</div>
</li></ul>
</div>
</div>
<div>Other changes that we've made that may affect developers include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li></li><li>ongoing C++ implementation improvements</li><li>ongoing work to add unit support in OMERO.insight</li><li>further flake8 work</li><li>removal of webtest app from OMERO.web to a separate repository</li><li>Blitz gateway fixes</li><li>CLI fixes</li><li>ROI and tables work</li></ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Further changes are planned in milestone 3 (see <a href="https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/milestone/5.1.0-m3">https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/milestone/5.1.0-m3</a>) so the API and Model should not be considered stable at this stage. Also
note that the changes are not fully documented as yet.</div>
