Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.17 and OMERO.web 5.31.0, which includes a number of bugfixes to the UI and backend improvements.

OMERO.server 5.6.17

This bug-fix release of OMERO.server includes:

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 following OMERO.server dependencies have been upgraded:

OMERO.web 5.31.0

OMERO.web 5.31.0 now requires Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 and Django 5.2 LTS and delivers a number of bug fixes and UI improvements.

Please see the OMERO.web release and notes on upgrading.
