    • JM: do we wait for docs (see below)?
    • Seb: include floating-point safety fixes? Adds value for more users
      • Floating point fixes ready soon - end of week
    • JM: sooner release might mean we get OMERO.server out of sync with docs
    • Seb: vote for only supporting BioFormats metadata with v0.4 OME-NGFF.
      • reduces support matrix
