<div>Dear All</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are pleased to announce the release of OMERO.figure 3.0.0.</div>
<div>This release builds on the previously unannounced 2.0 release in which the installation of</div>
<div>OMERO.figure was moved to PyPI [1].</div>
<div>Other OMERO official web apps are also available from PyPI [2], [3].</div>
<div>Installation is now much simpler. Principally the install is done via pip,</div>
<div>with some additional configuration settings.</div>
<div>Previously installed versions should first be removed before installing from PyPI.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For full details see our install and upgrade documentation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The script used to export a figure as PDF or TIFF still requires to be uploaded to the OMERO.server.</div>
<div>This is not available via pip</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This change means that OMERO.figure now requires OMERO <b>5.3.0</b>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
