<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just in time for our festive break, OMERO and Bio-Formats version 5.1.0-m3 are now public, see <a href="http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m3/">http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m3/</a> </div>
<div>and </div>
<div><a href="http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-m3/">http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-m3/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the third of what will now be four 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><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>Changes affecting developers include:</div>
<div>
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li>implementation of units in the OMERO clients</li><li>conversions between units</li><li>OMERO.web updates</li><li>server-side Graph work to improve speed for moving and deleting</li><li>OMERO.insight bug-fixes especially for ROIs</li></ul>
</div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>
<div>Further changes are planned in milestone 4 (see <a href="https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/milestone/5.1.0-m4">https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/milestone/5.1.0-m4</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>
