OME-TIFF reading will be in the 5.1 release; OME-TIFF writing missed the
freeze deadline but should be in the 5.1.1 point release, or the
following 5.1.2 release if there are any complications or other features
are given higher priority.

An additional factor which may affect you is that the code is currently
tested on UNIX-like platforms (Linux, MacOS, BSD), but not on Windows.
We aim to get Windows builds in place once OME-TIFF writing is completed.
