  *   Zeiss CZI
     *   fix pyramid resolution indexing for pyramids of different depths
     *   fix for incorrect channel names and colors
  *   Zeiss AxioVision ZVI
     *   correct parsing of epoch for Zeiss TIFF and Zeiss ZVI

Bug fixes:

     *   fix for java.lang. IndexOutOfBoundsException when using getFilename[1] with an image containing multiple samples per pixel channels and a single effective channel

Updated build system:

  *   Autogen jobs
     *   fix for gen-meta-support to locate available org.openmicroscopy:ome-xml sources from the Maven repository following the decoupling of the model components
  *   FileHandleTest
     *   exclude JHDF5 native libraries from FileHandleTest to enable CellH5 files to be included in daily tests
