<div>This is the final development milestone we are releasing in the lead up to 5.1.0, representing the final API changes for the new 5.1.x line. It is intended as a preview of the code changes and <b>is definitely <u>use at your own risk</u>. It is only intended
as a developer preview to help you update your code before the final release. </b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Changes include:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>implementation of OMERO.mail for emailing users via the server</li><li>performance improvements for importing large datasets</li><li>support for limiting the download of original files</li><li>various fixes for searching and filtering map annotations and converting between units</li><li>deprecation of IUpdate.deleteObject API method</li><li>versioning of all JavaScript files to fix browser refresh problems</li><li>clarifying usage of OMERO.web views and templates including RequestContext</li></ul>
</div>
<div>NOTE - The stand alone importer is not currently working and this release does not include a signed version of webstart so you should not attempt to use either of these features before the public 5.1.0 release.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For Bio-Formats, there is now a separate downloads page for the native C++ implementation, support for 6 new formats and fixes for many others - full details will be announced with the public release of 5.1.0 which is coming soon.</div>
