[FILM-Users 00418] Fwd: OMERO news

[Martin Spitaler]

Dear microscopists,

   in principle just a forwarded message - but there are some 
interesting news about the OMERO image database. This time not so much 
about the software itself, but about the information on the website and 
the user community: They have completely redone parts of the website, 
and there are two major improvements:

  * a dedicated page for users to share scripts, which allow users to
    perform tasks on a whole batch of images inside OMERO
    (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/community/scripts). Some useful
    examples interesting for lots of FILM users are:
      o a CORRELATION and COLOCALISATION ANALYSER
      o BATCH IMAGE EXPORT
      o MOVIE FIGURE
      o ...hopefully many more will follow soon
  * a revamped user guide page with very good instructions
  * a dedicated page for Partner Projects
    (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/products/partner/), e.g.:
      o Ian Munro's FLIMFit
      o u-track (particle tracking)
      o webtagging (convert file names to meaningful tags)
      o WND-CHARM (pattern recognition system for images)

By the way, once our new server is installed we plan to give every FILM 
user a start-up account with OMERO, including some storage space.

Good imaging,

Martin

OMERO & Bio-Formats 4.4.9 release


Dear All,

Today we are launching 4.4.9, a bug-fix release addressing a number of 
issues across all components.

For OMERO, this includes:

   *   fixing compatibility issues between clients and servers using 
different Ice versions e.g. client using Ice 3.3 connecting to a server 
using Ice 3.4;
   *   adding Ice 3.5 support;
   *   updating minimum system requirements to Java 1.6 (Java 1.5 is no 
longer supported);
   *   a major reworking of the testing infrastructure;
   *   new scripting sharing service as requested by users [1];
   *   new user help website to host workflow-based guides [2];
   *   new partner project pages to highlight work going on within the 
extended OME consortium.[3]

A security vulnerability [4] has also been identified and resolved, 
meaning that we strongly recommend all users upgrade their OMERO clients 
and servers. Sysadmin documentation for upgrading your server is at
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/server-upgrade.html.

Bio-Formats improvements include a number of bug fixes including for the 
ND2 format.

Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone [5] and the 
Bio-Formats Github milestone [6] pages.

The software is available from 
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/4.4.9/
and
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/4.4.9/

This move to 
downloads.openmicroscopy.org<http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org> is to 
facilitate all versions of the software being available from one 
location - legacy versions will be available here soon.


Kind regards,
The OME team
