Release of OMERO 5.2.6

Dear All,

Today we are releasing OMERO 5.2.6. This is a bug-fix release focusing on services closure and a DB upgrade fix.

Improvements include:

• fixed closure of session in Java when using Ice 3.5
• fixed memory leak where services were not correctly closed
• added a DB upgrade patch to fix errors only affecting DBs that have been upgraded from OMERO 4.4[1]
• fixed a MATLAB regression introduced in 5.2.2, casting error.
• fixed error in logs on getProjectedThumbnail

Support for OMERO.web deployment using Apache has also been deprecated and is likely to be removed during the 5.3.x line.

The software is available at: http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.2.6

Regards,

The OME Team
