Note
This documentation is for OMERO 5.2. This version is now in maintenance mode and will only be updated in the event of critical bugs or security concerns. OMERO 5.3 is expected before the end of 2016.
OMERO.web has undergone a major upgrade, updating jsTree to version 3.0.8 and using json for all tree loading to substantially improve performance.
If you have web code that directly works with the jsTree, you will need to update it according to the jsTree docs.
A number of new URLs are available in webclient, with the /api/ prefix that provide json data for the jsTree. However, these may soon be moved to a different Django app and should not yet be considered stable.
The API’s request operations Chmod, Chgrp, Chown, Delete, and their superclass GraphModify, were deprecated in 5.1 and will be removed in 5.3. They are replaced by Chmod2Chgrp2, Chown2, Delete2, and their superclass GraphModify2. OMERO developers who have not migrated yet should refer to Using the new 5.1 graph requests and take action before the deprecated features are removed.
The Java gateway has undergone a major overhaul which should make the development of Java applications much easier. As part of this, pojos has been renamed as omero.gateway.model. We do not intend to modify the methods already available but this work should still be considered as under development as we move towards the gateway becoming a stable public API. Feedback as always is welcome. See OMERO Java language bindings for more information or follow the example in minimal-omero-client.
The Rect class has been renamed to Rectangle to match the OME-XML schema. This requires the corresponding change to be made in client software that uses the OMERO.blitz server API to work with ROIs.
