Milestone OMERO-Beta4.1
This roadmap was significantly reworked during the Paris May 2009 Users' meeting. Overarching notes are available for reference are available here.
4.1 was originally planned as a quick release post-4.0 to solidify the server especially to prepare for a later release (4.2) focusing on high-content analysis. The focus shifted during the users' meeting to solving the Data-in/-out/-duplication issues which have kept several sites from adopting OMERO.
- Data-in
- A comprehensive collection of testing files used across the project
- Eased user upload of broken files
- Better transparency in the testing framework
- A minimal import ("compatibility mode") for broken formats
- Support for re-import
- Data-out & duplication
- Support export of OME-TIFF
- Enable OMERO.fs to read directly from files on mounted systems
- File formats
- Breaking down the mismatch between Bio-Formats supported and OMERO supported formats
- Support for INCELL, PE/FLEX, and maybe MDS and ArrayScan?
- Provide examples of OME writers like OME-TIFF export
- Cleanup tasks
- Conversion from internal DSL to OME-XSD based code-generation
- Automating build system (w/ creation of .app and .exe, branching & tagging)
- Adding a UNIQUE for Image/Pixels?
Mini-milestones
- Re-worked and more accessible web site (June 1st)
- Multi-site OMERO.fs test collaboration (August 15th)
