Release of OMERO 4.4.8p1

Today we are releasing a patch for OMERO 4.4.8 clients to fix problems with the network connection introduced by the latest Java 1.7 update on Windows. This Java update has resulted in Insight versions 4.4.6-4.4.8 being unable to connect to the server [1]. This patch also fixes a connection issue with Windows XP [2].

Although this problem has only been noted on Windows to date, we recommend all 4.4.8 users upgrade to 4.4.8p1 clients.

We recommend all 4.4.8 server administrators upgrade the client version in the server used by Java Webstart.

If you have a server version before 4.4.8 and use Java Webstart you will need to perform a full server upgrade [3].

As always, the software is available from OMERO Downloads.
