    OME team,<br>
    <br>
    Congrats and thanks all on this great milestone.<br>
    <br>
    One quick question from someone who was somewhat impatient. I had
    OMERO 5.1.0-m4 installed on a test server and loaded some data into
    that to try out some of the new functionality. Now I updated that to
    the released 5.1.0 but it refuses to start up probably due to these
    error messages in Blitz-0.log:<br>
    <br>
***************************************************************************************<br>
    DB version (OMERO5.1DEV__20) does not match omero.properties
    (OMERO5.1__1). Please apply a db upgrade.<br>
    See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.1/sysadmins/server-upgrade.html">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero5.1/sysadmins/server-upgrade.html</a><br>
***************************************************************************************<br>
    <br>
    The server-upgrade.html instructions address how to upgrade the DB
    from a 5.0.x version but that probably will not work when upgrading
    from m4, right? Anything I can do to upgrade or should I just wipe
    my DB and create a new one?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>
    - Damir<br>

        <div>Dear All,</div>

        <div>Today we are releasing OMERO and Bio-Formats 5.1.0. This is
          a full, production-ready release of OME's new software tools.
          With this release, the 5.0.x line enters maintenance mode and
          while we will continue to support it throughout 2015, it will
          only be updated for major bug fixes and security issues. We
          will not be releasing any further updates to the 4.4.x line.</div>
        <div><br>

          including support for units and new more flexible user-added
          metadata, improves performance for a number of operations and
