Hi everyone,
The Fiji distribution of ImageJ ships the most recent stable release of
Bio-Formats in order to provide support for over a hundred life sciences
image file formats. Currently, Fiji ships with version 4.4.10 of
Bio-Formats.
If a newer version is needed (e.g., for a critical bug-fix or newly added
file format), it is possible to update to the latest development version of
4.4.x, or the latest development version of 5.x, by enabling the
"Bio-Formats 4" or "Bio-Formats 5" update sites, respectively. (
http://fiji.sc/Bio-Formats#Daily_builds).
Earlier this week, the OME team released version 5.0.0 of the Bio-Formats
library. Within the next few days, I will update Fiji to use this new
version of Bio-Formats.
- The "Bio-Formats 4" update site will become obsolete. It will not be
possible to "downgrade" back to a 4.4.x version of Bio-Formats after this
point.
- The "Bio-Formats 5" update site will become the sole Bio-Formats update
site for following newer unstable development versions of Bio-Formats. (For
those interested: it will track the "dev_5_0" branch for the time being.)
Please let me know if you have any issues or concerns regarding this change.
Regards,
Curtis Rueden
