[ome-users] Release of OMERO 4.4.8p1

[Andrew Patterson]

Dear All,

Today we are releasing a patch for OMERO 4.4.8 clients to fix problems with the network connection introduced by the latest Java 1.7 update on Windows. This Java update has resulted in Insight versions 4.4.6-4.4.8 being unable to connect to the server [1]. This patch also fixes a connection issue with Windows XP [2].

**Although this problem has only been noted on Windows to date, we recommend all 4.4.8 users upgrade to 4.4.8p1 clients.**

**We recommend all 4.4.8 server administrators upgrade the client version in the server used by Java Webstart.**

If you have a server version before 4.4.8 and use Java Webstart you will need to perform a full server upgrade [3].

As always, the software is available from OMERO Downloads.
