<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">Dear All,</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">Following on from the release of OMERO 5.0.8 we are pleased to announce the release of version 4.8.0 of the high-speed open-source Fluorescence Lifetime fitting and visualisation tool FLIMfit.</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><font color="#060606"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">There have been substantial changes, under the hood, to allow this version to run on Matlab 2014b.</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">Please note that version 8.4 of the Matlab MCR is now required to run FLIMfit for those who do not have Matlab installed. Unfortunately, as a result of these changes, Windows users can no longer write directly
into Powerpoint as they could in earlier versions.</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><font color="#060606"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">The other area that has been substantially modified is the user interface to OMERO which has been somewhat simplified and now has a “look and feel” that mimics that of the OMERO.insight desktop client.</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><font color="#060606"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><font color="#060606">Minor changes include:</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: rgb(6, 6, 6);">FLIMfit’s internal .raw file format is no longer limited to 6GB.</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(6, 6, 6);">Image smoothing is automatically switched to “none” in the front-panel for single-pixel data.</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(6, 6, 6);">Improvements to handling of “empty” images (where all data falls below the chosen threshold).</span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(6, 6, 6);">Improvements to saving of segmentation mask ROIs into OMERO.</span></li></ul>
