Today we have made OMERO and Bio-Formats version 5.1.0-m1 public, see http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.1.0-m1/
and
http://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/bio ... /5.1.0-m1/
This is the first of three development milestones that we're releasing in the lead up to 5.1.0. It is intended as an introduction to the major and ongoing API and model changes. The code is definitely use at your own risk and is only intended as a developer preview for updating code before the final release Q1/2015.
Model changes:
- channel value has changed from an int to a float
- acquisitionDate on Image is now optional
- Pixels and WellSample types are no longer annotatable
- the following types are now annotatable: Detector, Dichroic, Filter, Instrument, LightSource, Objective, Shape
- introduction of a "Map" type which permits storing key-value pairs, and a Map annotation type which allows linking a Map on any annotatable object
Other changes that we've made that may affect developers:
- strict flake8'ing of all Python code
- C++ build is now based on CMake and is hopefully much more user-friendly
- new APIs include: SendEmail and DiskUsage
- the password table now has a "changed" field
Further model changes are planned in milestone 2 (see https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ ... e/5.1.0-m2) and the OME Model and Formats documentation will then be updated to reflect the new schema for the upcoming 5.1.0 release.

The OME Team
