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:
