Release of OMERO 5.5.1
Dear all,
Today we are releasing OMERO 5.5.1, a full production-ready release of OMERO.
This bug fix release focuses on installation issues that were seen with 5.5.0 and also upgrades the version of Bio-Formats which OMERO uses to 6.1.1.
This version does not require a database upgrade.
- OMERO.web:
- Allow the customization of the web logo
- Allow overriding server configuration
- Dynamically look up client download links
- Fix description in new Project, Dataset etc.
- Fix layout of the user account form
- Java gateway:
- New methods added to allow change group of objects
- New methods added to load objects (datasets, etc.) by name
- New methods added to get original and repository paths of images
- Minor fixes in createDataset and getPixelSize methods
- Import:
- Add import target support for creating Projects
- Scripts:
- Enable annotating Projects and Datasets with the Populate Metadata script
- OMERO.server:
- Fix SSL cipher issue to allow Insight to be used from Fedora 30
- Fix issue with loading Hibernate’s DTD when offline
- Properly close OMERO.tables which kept sessions alive
Note : Due to the stricter closing of OMERO.tables, it may be necessary to update plugins like omero-metadata which previously were leaking files.
The software is available at https://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.5.1. Clients are no longer available from that location since they will be released more frequently than the server.
OMERO.insight is now available at https://github.com/ome/omero-insight/releases/tag/v5.5.3 with the following changes:
- Fix SSL cipher issue to allow Insight to be used from Fedora 30
- Fix stack overflow exception
- Bump to omero-gateway-java 5.5.3
Official Docker images are available on Docker Hub:
