<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font face="Calibri">Dear All,</font></span></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<font face="Calibri">We are pleased to announce the release of OMERO.figure 4.0.0.</font></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<font face="Calibri">This is a major release that adds support for "big" tiled Images. This means that OMERO.figure can now handle WSI image data or other images with large XY sizes.</font></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<font face="Calibri">It includes changes to the way ROI stroke-widths are displayed. Previously, ROI stroke-widths were measured in image pixels so that lines appeared thinner as an image panel was zoomed out. However, this meant that lines of similar width
can appear at different thicknesses on different images. It also meant that on "big" Images that were zoomed out a long way, lines would disappear completely.</font></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<font face="Calibri">Now, stroke-widths are measured by page points so all lines of a similar stroke-width will appear the same thickness on the page, independent of the size or zoom of the panel they are on.</font></p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; color: rgb(36, 41, 46); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<font face="Calibri">When older figures are opened with OMERO.figure 4.0.0, stroke-widths will be updated so that the appearance of ROI lines remains the same.</font></p>
