Dear All,
Today we are releasing OMERO 5.1.4. This is a point release focusing on bug
fixes across all components. It also upgrades your OMERO.server to use the
latest release of Bio-Formats.
Improvements include:
- fixed channel buttons in OMERO.web
- improved UI experience when moving annotated data between groups in
OMERO.web
- improved performance for loading annotations in the right-hand panel
of OMERO.web
- much better handling of ROIs covering large planes in OMERO.insight
- rendering setting fixes for copy and paste actions in OMERO.insight
- rendering fixes for floating point data
- Admins can now configure whether the clients interpolate images by
default
- better formatting of Delta-T and exposure times in the clients
- directories are now preserved when downloading multiple original files
- various improvements to the OMERO-ImageJ handling of ROIs and
measurements, including the ability to name measurement tables [1]
- current session key can now be returned via the CLI
- other CLI improvements including usability of 'chmod' for downgrading
group permissions, and listing empty tagsets
- added support for groups in OMERO.matlab methods
Developer updates include:
- improvements to web logging to log full request and status code
- fixed joda-time version mismatch
- cleanup of old insight code to remove remaining references to
OMERO.editor
Support for deployment of OMERO.web using FastCGI has also been deprecated
in this release and is scheduled to be removed in 5.2.0. Sysadmins should
move to using WSGI instead. We are also intending to stop distributing Java
Webstart for launching OMERO.insight from your browser, as security
concerns mean browsers are increasingly moving away from supporting this
type of application. You can read further information regarding this
decision on our Web Start blog post (
http://blog.openmicroscopy.org/tech-issues/future-plans/2015/09/23/java-web-start/).

[1] Users of the ImageJ plugin may find that re-opening their saved images
with ROIs back in ImageJ encounters some issues because not all the
Bio-Formats fixes for this workflow made it into the Bio-Formats 5.1.4
release. This will be fixed with the upcoming Bio-Formats 5.1.5 release and
in the meantime, you can use the Bio-Formats latest build.
