[ome-devel] Data Model and developer preview releases of OMERO & Bio-Formats 5.1.0-m4

[Helen Flynn (Staff)]

Dear All,

OMERO and Bio-Formats version 5.1.0-m4 are now public, see http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m4/
and
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/5.1.0-m4/

This is the 4th development milestone we have released in the lead up to 5.1.0. It is intended as a preview of the code changes and is definitely use at your own risk. It is only intended as a developer preview to help you update your code before the final release Q1/2015.

The updates to the Data Model are now complete and documented at http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/ome-model/ (Note that how these changes are implemented within OMERO is not fully documented as yet - developer documentation updates are ongoing).


Changes include:

  *   final Database changes - image.series is now exposed in Hibernate
  *   improved deletion performance
  *   client bundle clean-up
  *   other clean-up work including pep8 and removal of deprecated methods and components
  *   new Map annotations are now included in the UI and search functionality
  *   ImageJ plugin updates which allow
     *   importing of images and saving ROIs to OMERO from within the plugin
     *   viewing images stored in OMERO and their ROIs generated within OMERO from within the plugin
     *   updating ROIs on OMERO-stored images within the plugin and saving these back to OMERO without needing to re-import the image
  *   OMERO.matlab updates re: annotations
  *   OMERO.tables internal HDF5 format has changed

With thanks to Paul Van Schayck and Luca Lianas for their contributions.

NOTE - Improvements for JPEG EXIF reading in Bio-Formats have led to a regression in OMERO whereby JPEG files may not be importable into OMERO 5.1.0-m4. This bug will be fixed before the public release of 5.1.0.
