<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div> This week I released <a href="https://github.com/scifio/scifio/tree/pom-scifio-0.4.1">SCIFIO-0.4.1 beta</a>. The primary new feature is a <a href="https://github.com/scifio/scifio/blob/pom-scifio-0.4.1/scifio/src/main/java/io/scif/img/cell/cache/CacheService.java">CacheService.</a> This allows the <a href="https://github.com/scifio/scifio/blob/master/scifio/src/main/java/io/scif/img/cell/SCIFIOCellImg.java">SCIFIOCellImg</a>, which lazily loads image planes, to store modified planes in a temporary disk store, allowing dataset-wide modifications and computation on images that won't fit in memory (without modifying the original data). The caching mechanism is fairly automated, although the API is there for direct control if desired. For the most part you should just need to access the CacheService if you want to change its configuration.<br>
<br></div> For those interested in Bio-Formats/SCIFIO in C++, the latest development branch of <a href="git://itk.org/ITK.git">ITK </a>was also updated this week with bug fixes and improvements to the <a href="https://github.com/scifio/scifio-imageio">itkSCIFIOImageIO</a>. Most significantly is that the ImageIO can now read multi-series datasets. Also, the <a href="https://github.com/scifio/scifio-imageio/blob/master/test/itkSCIFIOImageIOTest.cxx">itkSCIFIOImageIOTest</a> was refactored into a more robust command line tool, capable of accepting a variety of configuration flags (that normally would require re-compilation). Note that the itkSCIFIOImageIO still uses Bio-Formats, and not the SCIFIO beta. That's something we'll update after SCIFIO 1.0.0.<br>
</div><div><br></div> The next release will likely be 0.5.0, and will include the conversion of SCIFIO Metadata structures to be truly N-dimensional, as well as further improvements to the CacheService, logging, and more.<br>
