The OME team is pleased to announce the release of OMERO 5.5.1.

back to Announcements

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.

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 archived downloads. Clients are no longer available from that location since they will be released more frequently than the server.

OMERO.insight is now available at release v5.5.3.

Official Docker images are available on Docker Hub:
