<p style="margin: 0px 0px 8px; "><span style="line-height: 18px; color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; ">We reported[1] last year that the version numbers for Bio-Formats and OMERO would no longer
match. Bio-Formats is at 5.1 while OMERO is at 5.2. A side-effect of this decoupling is that the version reported by the upgrade checking functionality has been pinned down to 5.1.4 for both OMERO and Bio-Formats.</span></p>

in the server logs at the server startup if a new server is available and that Bio-Formats command-line tools users will not receive an upgrade warning about the latest Bio-Formats 5.1.x releases.</span></p>

versions. In the meantime, we are hoping this loss of functionality does not affect any workflow significantly. Let us know otherwise.</span></p>
