OMERO version history
=====================

5.6.17 (February 2026)
----------------------

This is a bug-fix release of OMERO.server which includes:

- an upgrade of Bio-Formats from 8.2.0 to 8.4.0. The new version will invalidate
previous Bio-Formats cache files. Please refer to the upgrade documentation
for further information.
- an upgrade of the OMERO scripts from 5.9.1 to 5.10.0. The new version includes
several bug fixes as well as the ability to specify custom labels in the Split
View Figure script

The IceGrid templates have been updated to use a local temporary directory, `var/tmp`,
for the Java processes. This change allows the server and notably Bio-Formats to remain
fully functional on hardened environments where the `noexec` mount option has been set on
the `/tmp` partitition.

The slash and the tmp are split for me on different lines.
