Dear All,
Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.3, a bug-fix release. Improvements include:
* fixed problem with float images
* all scripts currently exposed to users via our website have been reviewed and fixed where necessary so they are all now 5.2.x compatible, and a new omero-install workflow has been developed to ensure these are reviewed regularly going forward
* better support for metadata annotations in clients including tag/tagset support and performance issues
* fixes in OMERO.web for deleting MIFs
* improvements to the navigation of large datasets and display of plates in OMERO.web
* other OMERO.web bug fixes
* OMERO.insight and CLI import improvements
* other OMERO.insight bug fixes, including for downloading data
Developer updates include:
* Java gateway improvements
System administrator updates include:
* Ice 3.6.2 support for UNIX-like systems, including specific installation walkthroughs
* redis support for websessions caching
* a fix to allow OMERO.web to be run in a Docker container
* improved OMERO.web configuration
* warnings added regarding the end of Windows support in the 5.3.0 release[1] (note that we will be preparing a guide for migrating from Windows for existing servers and adding it to the documentation as soon as we can)
