Correction note on the previous 6.9.0 release:

For the previous release of Bio-Formats 6.9.0, the command line tools and downloadable components listed on the openmicroscopy website mistakenly did not include the full list of changes advertised in the release the notes. The Bio-Formats 6.9.0 artefacts deployed on artifacts.openmicroscopy.org were correct and contained the full list of changes. Clients consuming Bio-Formats as a Maven dependency will have been unaffected.
