back to Announcements

Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.4 which uses OMERO.blitz 5.5.10 and includes omero-scripts 5.6.2 and Bio-Formats 6.9.1, see release announcement. The Bio-Formats Memoizer cache will be invalidated on upgrade from OMERO.server 5.6.3.

The OMERO pyramid generation process should be considered as deprecated, please read the recommendations on how to proceed with large images.

OMERO.server 5.6.4 runs in the same deployment environments as OMERO.server 5.6.0. It has been tested with OMERO.py 5.11.1 and OMERO.web 5.14.0 which includes support for Django 3.2.x, see the OMERO.web release announcement for more details. Both OMERO.py and OMERO.web are available from PyPI.
