What’s new for OMERO 5.5 for developers

This release focuses on decoupling the Java components to new, separate repositories, each with a new Gradle build system:

• https://github.com/ome/omero-dsl-plugin
• https://github.com/ome/omero-model
• https://github.com/ome/omero-common
• https://github.com/ome/omero-romio
• https://github.com/ome/omero-renderer
• https://github.com/ome/omero-server
• https://github.com/ome/omero-blitz
• https://github.com/ome/omero-gateway-java
• https://github.com/ome/omero-blitz-plugin
• https://github.com/ome/omero-insight
• https://github.com/ome/omero-matlab
• https://github.com/ome/omero-javapackager-plugin
• https://github.com/ome/omero-api-plugin

This has the goal of enabling more fine-grained releases.

A new restriction is that the names of server configuration properties may include only letters, numbers and the symbols “.”, “_”, “-“.
