<p>Dear All, </p>
<p>Today we have released the binary builds of Bio-Formats-C++ 5.1.5, together with the ome-cmake-superbuild package used for building Bio-Formats-C++ and its dependencies on Windows and other platforms.
</p>
<p>See <a href="http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats-cpp/5.1.5/">http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats-cpp/5.1.5/</a> for links to the source releases, documentation and API reference, and binary builds for a number of platforms which now
include Windows with VS2013. </p>
<p>Bio-Formats changes: </p>
<ul>
<li>TIFF strip/tile row and column calculations corrected to compute the correct row and column count
</li><li>several compiler warnings removed (false positive warnings in third-party headers disabled, and additional warnings fixed)
</li><li>it is now possible to build with Boost 1.59 and compile with a C++ 14 compiler
</li></ul>
<p>CMake Super-Build changes: </p>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade Boost to 1.59 </li><li>Use tar source release; this permits building on platforms which could not unpack the source zip
</li><li>Add recursive dependency addition; this makes the superbuild much more adaptable for the use of optional and version-specific packages, and the addition of new packages
</li><li>Add required Python modules (genshi and sphinx) and their dependencies </li></ul>
<p>CMake Super-Build components: </p>
<ul>
<li>bioformats 5.1.5 </li><li>boost 1.59 </li><li>bzip2 1.0.6 </li><li>icu 55.1 </li><li>libpng 1.6.17 </li><li>py-docutils 0.12 </li><li>py-genshi 0.7 </li><li>py-jinja2 2.7.3 </li><li>py-markupsafe 0.23 </li><li>py-pygments 2.0.2 </li><li>py-setuptools 18.3.2 </li><li>py-sphinx 1.2.3 </li><li>tiff 4.0.6 </li><li>xerces-c 3.1.2 </li><li>zlib 1.2.8 </li></ul>
