back to Announcements

Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.2 which fixes installation instructions for CentOS 7, adds installation instructions for both OMERO.web and OMERO.server on CentOS 8 and Ubuntu 20.04, and finally drops support for Ubuntu 16.04 and removes the corresponding installation instructions. We are also releasing OMERO.web 5.7.0 and OMERO.py 5.7.1 which both contain some API additions.

OMERO.server 5.6.2 runs in the same deployment environments as OMERO.server 5.6.0 and the Bio-Formats Memoizer cache will be invalidated.

OMERO.server 5.6.2 is available from archived downloads. OMERO.web 5.7.0 and OMERO.iviewer 0.10.0 are both available from PyPI. These have been tested with OMERO.py 5.7.1 so we recommend that you upgrade OMERO.py on both server and web deployments.
