        • Josh: few on BF, most in web UI.
        • Not so many changes remaining that are not backported to OMERO 5.3. Dev.
        • Chris: decoupling of web from server will simplify this.
        • Josh: Right-hand panel needs to be more plugin-enabled. Happy to see web plugins & cli plugins decoupled to new repositories.
        • Chris: Lots of JCB-dataviewer-specific code in web image viewer, instead of plugin points.
        • Eleanor: updating existing and starting handling 2 new datasets.
      3. OMERO 5.2.6

        • This will include support for re-named web apps ‘omero_figure’

        • Will start work on SPW grid view soon.
        • Web-API progressing
        • Length of name for Screen/Plate/Image etc. Limit is 255 needs to be increased
        • Chris: As Roger says, no advantage for 255 limit vv ‘text’ field in Postgres
        • Mark: NB: simple query could give very large response.
        • JM: New role for ‘admin lite’ e.g. uploading scripts etc.
        • JM: Ola’s Devspace on OpenStack work makes 5.2.6 release easier.
