Release of 4.4.5 (OMERO & Bio-Formats)

Today we're launching 4.4.5, a bug-fix release addressing a number of issues across all components.

For OMERO, this includes a number of improvements to the clients: the web client now supports "batch de-annotation", filtering of images by name and improved export to OME-TIFF and JPEG. OMERO.insight has fixes to thumbnail selection and image importing and exporting. Links have also been updated in the OMERO documentation. Bio-Formats improvements include bug fixes for file grouping in many multi-file formats, Maven build fixes, and ITK plugin fixes.

You will also notice that the documentation for Bio-Formats
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/bio-formats
has been significantly reworked and is now fully hosted on the OME site.

Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone page
