[ome-users] Release of OMERO 5.2.1

[Helen Flynn (Staff)]

Dear All,
Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.1, a bug-fix release focusing on improving our installation documentation and workflows. Other improvements include:

  *   bug fix for missing hierarchy when viewing High Content Screening data
  *   improvements to the right-hand panel in OMERO.insight
  *   measurement tool fixes
  *   OMERO.web fix for displaying size units

Users of the insight-ij plugin in Fiji should note that some versions of Java are failing to allow the plugin to connect to OMERO. Please refer to our help guide (http://help.openmicroscopy.org/imagej.html) and try a different version of Java if possible.

Developer updates include:

  *   OMERO Javadocs now link to the relevant version of Bio-Formats Javadocs for inherited methods
  *   clean-up of server dependencies
  *   jstree clean-up
  *   CLI graph operation improvements for deleting
  *   minimal-omero-client and pom-omero-client clean-up

System administrator updates include:

  *   improved installation documentation, including an updated and tested complete walkthrough for installation on CentOS 6
  *   OMERO.web deployment fixes
