<div>Dear All,</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.6. This is a bug-fix release focusing on services closure and a DB upgrade fix.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Improvements include:</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div> - fixed closure of session in Java when using Ice 3.5</div>

<div> - fixed memory leak where services were not correctly closed</div>

<div> - added a DB upgrade patch to fix errors only affecting DBs that have been upgraded from OMERO 4.4[1]</div>

<div> - fixed a MATLAB regression introduced in 5.2.2, casting error.</div>

<div> - fixed error in logs on getProjectedThumbnail</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Support for OMERO.web deployment using Apache has also been deprecated and is likely to be removed during the 5.3.x line.</div>
