Today we are releasing Bio-Formats 5.5.3 which includes the following changes:
File format fixes and improvements:
- Zeiss CZI
- fix to store Bézier ROIs as polygons, using the control points for the set of Bézier curves to form an approximation of the ROI
- improved parsing of stage positions in metadata
- improved parsing of detector gain values
- removed OME-XML validation errors by fixing potential for duplicate detector IDs
- removed invalid XML failures for Modulo label elements
- time increment metadata now populated on Pixels element
- fix to deal with consecutive empty planes in a series (thanks to Nicholas Trahearn)
- DICOM
- no longer allow core metadata to be modified when determining if files belong to a DICOM dataset
- Nikon NIS-Elements ND2
- fixed calculation for scanline padding
- Kodak BIP
- stricter file type checking enforced by no longer relying only on the file suffix
- MINC MRI
- improved parsing of metadata by correcting units for physical sizes, pixel type and capturing XYZ plane positions in OME-XML
- Bio-Rad Gel
- fixed the width of pixel data offset field
- DeltaVision
- improved accuracy of format detection checking for input streams
- Andor SIF
- fixed support for cropped images by parsing bounding box of the stored image
Documentation improvements:
