Release of OMERO.server 5.6.14

Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.14 which includes:

• The various Java components e.g. omero-server have been built via Java 11 with the compatibility flag on for Java 8. Due to limited testing on Java 8, we recommend to upgrade to Java 11 or higher.
• Addition of new lookup tables.
• Upgrade of Bio-Formats to version 8.0.1.

Note: This upgrade will invalidate the Bio-Formats Memoizer cache. Please see the upgrade guide for further information.

Installing the Software:

For full details of the changes included in the OMERO 5.6 series see the OMERO 5.6.0 release announcement. Note that the present list of supported versions changed in the meantime. Full documentation for this release is available under https://omero.readthedocs.io/en/v5.6.14/.

This release has been tested with OMERO.py 5.19.5 and OMERO.web 5.28.0. We recommend that you upgrade OMERO.py and OMERO.web accordingly on your deployments.

Official Docker images are available as usual on Docker Hub with either the latest or the 5.6 tag. Both Docker images have been upgraded to Rocky Linux 9:

You are invited to discuss this announcement on the image.sc forum.

All the best with your upgrades,

The OME Team
