Open Microscopy Environment

Hi all !

I just finished my previous work and moved to a new lab, so I'm again using the Bio-Formats but on a whole new set of microscopy data !

So, just a brief thought about the new format of distribution of the Bio-formats (I'm interested in the command-line tools): I think it would be great if there would be (maybe I missed it) a permanent web link pointing at the latest version of the package. That way, it would be easy to programmatically install the latest version.

Keep up the great work !

Cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,

we have latest redirects are already into place for Bio-Formats that should meet your requirements:

- http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats/ will link to the latest release Bio-Formats
- http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/lat ... -formats5/ will link to the latest 5.x release of Bio-Formats
- http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/lat ... ormats5.1/ will link to the latest 5.1.x release of Bio-Formats

Note for each of these you should be able to retrieve individual components, e.g. for the latest Bio-Formats command line tools you can use http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/lat ... ftools.zip.

Thanks for asking about this, we will try to make it clearer on the documentation

Best,
Sebastien

Awesome !

Thanks a lot,
Cheers,

Simon
