Thanks, as always, for your hard work!

This is a good summary, in particular for Fiji users who remember when the
Bio-Formats version bundled with Fiji used to be at the bleeding edge.
I should have clarified that a long time ago: Bio-Formats as shipped with
Fiji (or via its update site) is the stable version of Bio-Formats.
It is really awesome that users can track the latest development version
again; that way, bug fixes are sure to find the reporters much sooner!
Awesome,
Dscho
