Release of OMERO 5.2.1

Dear All,

Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.1, a bug-fix release focusing on improving our installation documentation and workflows. Other improvements include:

• bug fix for missing hierarchy when viewing High Content Screening data
• improvements to the right-hand panel in OMERO.insight
• measurement tool fixes
• OMERO.web fix for displaying size units

Users of the insight-ij plugin in Fiji should note that some versions of Java are failing to allow the plugin to connect to OMERO. Please refer to our help guide (http://help.openmicroscopy.org/imagej.html) and try a different version of Java if possible.

Developer updates include:

• OMERO Javadocs now link to the relevant version of Bio-Formats Javadocs for inherited methods
• clean-up of server dependencies
• jstree clean-up
• CLI graph operation improvements for deleting
• minimal-omero-client and pom-omero-client clean-up

System administrator updates include:

• improved installation documentation, including an updated and tested complete walkthrough for installation on CentOS 6
• OMERO.web deployment fixes
