Changes for June 2013 ===================== The list of the key changes for the June 2013 major release of the ome-xml data model. This schema release will tie in with the Bio-Formats 5.0 release. The new major release of the schema has a new namespace and all version numbers are reset to 1. As a major release, any file that validated correctly using the last major release will probably not validate correctly using this new release. Some files that failed to validate before will now be valid. It is important to update any file readers and writers to understand the changes. The version number of all schema files is now 1. This schema uses the new namespace: :: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/Schemas/[NameSpaceTitle]/2013-06/ For the OME schema :: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/Schemas/OME/2013-06/ and the schema file is located at :: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/Schemas/OME/2013-06/ome.xsd Overview of changes ------------------- - This release is in step with the release of Bio-Formats 5.0 and OMERO 5.0 (FS).
