[ome-users] Demo server downtime and upgrade

[Helen Flynn]

Dear All,

The Demo server has been switched off today to allow us to upgrade and move it. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, we will have the system back up as soon as possible. If you have applied for an account in the last 24 hours, this will be set up and sent out to you as soon as the upgraded system is available.

The new demo server will run OMERO 5.0.0-rc1 and will be upgraded to the full 5.0.0 version when this is released in the next few weeks. For information about the changes this upgrade will mean, please see
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/ome5
The main difference is in uploading your files. There is also a 'Getting Started' guide available at
http://help.openmicroscopy.org/getting-started-5.html

The server will be moved to http://demo.openmicroscopy.org and will be maintained by the main OME team in Dundee from now on. Many thanks to KIT [1] for the years of hosting us!

If you have an existing log-in, your account will work as usual to connect to the new address when the server is back on.

We will make a further announcement as soon as the service is available again,

Regards,

The OME Team
