Release 7

We're in the middle of testing release 7, the next release of Aperio software.  In the next few days I'm going to post about some of the new features and other stuff we've included in the release.  Your comments will be welcome!

Aperio has a software suite which accompanies each ScanScope scanner.  There are a number of different components, but the suite is released as a unit to make sure all the parts play nice.  It is easier for us to test everything together than to test all the permutations.  We do try to maintain backward-compatibility so it isn't necessary to upgrade all your computers at once.

The best reference for the components of the suite is the Notes & News document which accompanies each release.  Here's the Release 6 Notes & News (PDF), in case you don't have it already.  This is a great reference which not only tells you about the release, but also about each of the components.  And it has installation instructions and upgrade considerations.  The Release 7 Notes & News is still being prepared, but I'll link it here as soon as it is available.
