Dear all,

Today we are releasing Bio-Formats 5.5.3 which includes the following changes:

File format fixes and improvements:
• Zeiss CZI

• improved parsing of stage positions in metadata
• improved parsing of detector gain values
• removed OME-XML validation errors by fixing potential for duplicate detector IDs
• removed invalid XML failures for Modulo label elements
• time increment metadata now populated on Pixels element
• fix to deal with consecutive empty planes in a series (thanks to Nicholas Trahearn)
• DICOM
• no longer allow core metadata to be modified when determining if files belong to a DICOM dataset
• Nikon NIS-Elements ND2
• fixed calculation for scanline padding
• Kodak BIP
• stricter file type checking enforced by no longer relying only on the file suffix
• MINC MRI
• improved parsing of metadata by correcting units for physical sizes, pixel type and capturing XYZ plane positions in OME-XML
• Bio-Rad Gel
• fixed the width of pixel data offset field
• DeltaVision
• improved accuracy of format detection checking for input streams
• Andor SIF
• fixed support for cropped images by parsing bounding box of the stored image
