Hi,

Today LOCI has released a new version of Bio-Formats. Major changes include:

* PerkinElmer: support for PE UltraView
* Openlab LIFF: support for Openlab v5
* Leica LEI: bugfixes, and support for multiple series
* ZVI, OIB, IPW: more robust handling of these formats (eliminated
custom OLE parsing logic in favor of Apache POI)
* OIB: better metadata parsing (but maybe still not perfect?)
* LSM: fixed a bug preventing import of certain LSMs
* Metamorph STK: fixed a bug resulting in duplicate image planes
* User interface: use of system look & feel for file chooser dialog
when available
* Better notification when JAR libraries are missing

You can download the release from the Bio-Formats web site:
   http://www.loci.wisc.edu/ome/formats.html

Please note that there is one new library required, poi-loci.jar, in
addition to the old dependencies. It goes in the ImageJ plugins folder
just like the others.

To receive future release notifications, sign up for the LOCI software
mailing list by following the instructions on the LOCI software web
site:

And as always, please let me know if you have any issues or questions
about the software.

Cheers,
Curtis
