Dear All,

Today we have released the binary builds of Bio-Formats-C++ 5.1.6, together with the ome-cmake-superbuild package used for building Bio-Formats-C++ and its dependencies on Windows and other platforms.

See http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio ... cpp/5.1.6/ for links to the source releases, documentation and API reference, and binary builds for a number of platforms.

Bio-Formats C++ changes include:
  • Dropped superbuild option (not needed now it is a separate release)
  • Added support for path introspection on Windows (used to determine the location of the schema files); this now matches the behaviour for all other platforms
  • Disabled bounds checks in the PixelBuffer multi-dimensional array code for Debug builds for performance reasons (it is always disabled for Release builds)
  • Updated doxygen documentation links (N.B. will come into effect next week when Bio-Formats 5.1.7 is released)
  • Source releases are now xz compressed

Superbuild changes include:
  • Added support for caching builds of prerequisites for future rebuilds (build-cache and python-cache options); this saves time if doing many builds with the same prerequisites.
  • Component changes:
    • Bioformats: Updated to 5.1.6 (uses boost-1.59)
    • boost-1.58: Removed (no longer used)
    • png: Updated to 1.6.19

The software release is available at: http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio ... -cpp/5.1.6
