Dear all,

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

File format fixes and improvements:

  *   Zeiss CZI
     *   fix to store Bézier ROIs as polygons, using the control points for the set of Bézier curves to form an approximation of the ROI
     *   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

Documentation improvements:

  *   Olympus cellSens VSI updated to include list of available specifications
