[ome-devel] Release of Bio-Formats C++ 5.1.5 builds

[Helen Flynn (Staff)]

Dear All,

Today we have released the binary builds of Bio-Formats-C++ 5.1.5, together with the ome-cmake-superbuild package used for building Bio-Formats-C++ and its dependencies on Windows and other platforms.

See http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats-cpp/5.1.5/ for links to the source releases, documentation and API reference, and binary builds for a number of platforms which now include Windows with VS2013.

Bio-Formats changes:

  *   TIFF strip/tile row and column calculations corrected to compute the correct row and column count
  *   several compiler warnings removed (false positive warnings in third-party headers disabled, and additional warnings fixed)
  *   it is now possible to build with Boost 1.59 and compile with a C++ 14 compiler

CMake Super-Build changes:

  *   Upgrade Boost to 1.59
  *   Use tar source release; this permits building on platforms which could not unpack the source zip
  *   Add recursive dependency addition; this makes the superbuild much more adaptable for the use of optional and version-specific packages, and the addition of new packages
  *   Add required Python modules (genshi and sphinx) and their dependencies

CMake Super-Build components:

  *   bioformats 5.1.5
  *   boost 1.59
  *   bzip2 1.0.6
  *   icu 55.1
  *   libpng 1.6.17
  *   py-docutils 0.12
  *   py-genshi 0.7
  *   py-jinja2 2.7.3
  *   py-markupsafe 0.23
  *   py-pygments 2.0.2
  *   py-setuptools 18.3.2
  *   py-sphinx 1.2.3
  *   tiff 4.0.6
  *   xerces-c 3.1.2
  *   zlib 1.2.8
