Release of OMERO & Bio-Formats 4.4.10

Today we are launching 4.4.10, a bug-fixing release:

For OMERO, this includes:

• improved tile-loading
• better network-disconnect handling
• more flexible webapp deployment
• Ice 3.5.1 support (except on Windows)
• and numerous bug fixes, especially during the modification of metadata, users, and groups.

Bio-Formats improvements include fixes for the following formats:

• CellWorx
• Metamorph
• Zeiss CZI
• and updates to the MATLAB documentation.

Full details are available on the OMERO Github milestone[1] and the Bio-Formats Github milestone[2] pages.

The software is available from

We currently intend 4.4.10 to be the last update to the 4.4.x series. Our development focus is now on the OME 5 line, and as stated in a previous announcement, while we will continue to support 4.4.10 through 2014, we will only perform critical bug fixes on this version.

Kind regards, The OME team
