<div>Dear All,</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>We are releasing OMERO 4.4.8 today to fix two specific issues:</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>

<ul class="MailOutline">

<li>a problem with the OMERO.insight client for Linux [1]</li><li>image thumbnails not loading for Screens/Plates in Private/Read-Only groups in OMERO.web [2]</li></ul>

<div><br>

</div>

</div>

<div><b>You only need to upgrade if you are an OMERO.insight user on Linux or you are using OMERO.web to view HCS data in Private or Read-Only groups.</b></div>

<div><b><br>

</b></div>

<div>As always, the software is available from OMERO Downloads. <a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/omero/downloads">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/omero/downloads</a></div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>For information on the upgrade from OMERO 4.3 to 4.4, see the upgrade guide for system administrators.

<div><br>

</div>

<div>If you have not upgraded from OMERO 4.3 to 4.4 yet, then please upgrade directly to 4.4.8 as explained on the upgrade page linked above.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Please note - Bio-Formats 4.4.8 is also being released today to keep the version numbers in sync. However, there are no code changes from 4.4.7 and you do not need to upgrade.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

<div>Kind regards,</div>
