[ome-devel] OME2.4.1 releases

[Jason Swedlow]

Hi-

Just a heads up on our progress:

-- A new version of Shoola is nearing RC stage.  There are some bug 
fixes and small changes to the DataManager, etc.  The big change is the 
return of a Hierarchy Browser.  This tool builds on concepts initiated 
by Jeff Mellen and Harry Hochheiser.  Currently, the browser explicitly 
supports the P/D/I/ and CG/C/I hierarchies, and once we get our 
proposed alterations to the schema to support screening, will also 
explicitly support this hierarchy as well.  Anyone interested in this 
can get Shoola from CVS and give it a whirl.  Most of it is done, but 
it does not yet allow definition and specification of CGs and Cs-- this 
will come later this week or early next.  We are testing this here in 
Dundee and could use any other feedback.  Looking for a 2.4.1 release 
candidate around May 13 or so???

-- Continuing our strategy of separate but related release paths for 
server and client, we will decide soon on our release path for our 
server code.   There are major changes to the system that should be 
released etc, but need some testing etc first.  Stay tuned for more on 
this in the  next week or so.

-- as Harry mentioned, our paper on the the OME Data Model and XML file 
is out and available at http://genomebiology.com/2005/6/5/R47.  
Congrats to all.

Cheers,

Jason
