-
5.1.4 (Seb)
No issues so far!
Mark: release process went OK - not too painful. But not sure about handling workflow if it goes “off script”.
- 5.2.0 (J-m) November 2nd - Ice 3.6 support unlikely by this date. Will - jstree follow-up, rendering centre panel Webstart removal Gus scoping right-hand panel - loading data incrementally to handle larger annotations Seb: 5.2 timeline - BioFormats 5.2.0 won’t be ready for November. Will need registry to allow OMERO to use different versions of BF. JM: Trello board cards marked with “onhold”. Ola: Python 2.7? JM: Depends on Ice 3.6 which won’t be ready. Ola: is it just CentOs 6? Simon: yes, CentOS 7 is OK. Roger: Many users on CentOS 6. But web security is also important. Can we work on it before 5.2? Helen: Can the Nov 2nd date be pushed? Would be nice to fix all these issues for 5.2 Ola: Django needs upgrade since it is no-longer supported (insecure)
