[ome-devel] Release of OMERO Beta4.2.1

[Jason Swedlow]

Dear All-

Today, The OME Consortium (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/about/development-teams 
), is proud to release OMERO-Beta4.2.1.

This is a point release, focussing on fixes for delete functionality,  
and significant improvements in the way OMERO.web production server is  
deployed.

For full details of the OMERO Beta4.2.1 release, see:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/milestone/OMERO-Beta4.2.1

Some highlights:

1. Substantial improvement in Delete performance.

2. Significant improvement in deployment of OMERO.web for production.

...and lots more!  (Lost and lots of other stuff-- we simply couldn't  
help ourselves.)

The software is available at http://openmicroscopy.org

The full list of features in OMERO, including new features in the  
OMERO Beta4.2.1, is at http://openmicroscopy.org/site/products/feature-list
Most features are accompanied by a short movie that shows that  
functionality in action.

We have a number of other features we will expose (including  
extensions to the much talked about OMERO.fs) in point releases that  
follow over the next few months.

Our feedback system, OMERO.qa (http://qa.openmicroscopy.org.uk) is a  
facility users and developers can use to log comments and exceptions.   
OMERO.qa supports uploading of problematic data files, and tracking of  
responses to any user queries.  Moreover, OMERO.qa includes a demo  
feature: in collaboration with Urban Liebel at  Karlsruhe Institute of  
Technology, we are providing demo accounts for OMERO.  Use the Demo  
link at qa to contact us if you are interested in this.

As always, thanks for your support.

Cheers,

Jason
