Glad to hear it.

No, just the last one. :) You can replace
"lib/repository/bio-formats-r5834.jar" with any other version and run
"./build.py clean; ./build.py". If you change the name, though, edit
the value in etc/omero.properties:

$ grep bio-formats etc/omero.properties 
versions.bio-formats=r5834

Alternatively, you can user our internal update script:

$ cd lib/repository/
$ ../../components/tools/OmeroImporter/update_bioformats_jars 

which will download the latest version from:

  http://hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk/job/LOCI/

will all requirements and modify the etc/ and .classpath files.

Cheers,
~Josh.
