v0.4.4

QuPath v0.4.4 is now available!

This is a minor update, that aims to be compatible with earlier v0.4.x versions while fixing one bug.

To date, the bug has only been reported to affect a small number of people using the QuPath ABBA extension. But because it could impact analysis results in rare circumstances, it is recommended that users of QuPath v0.4.0 - v0.4.3 update to v0.4.4.

There is a full description at #1306

QuPath Course in San Diego - and v0.5.0

We're happy to announced there will be a QuPath Training Course in San Diego from October 9-11, 2023.

This will be followed by the Quantitative Bioimaging Society's workshop on Muliplex Image Analysis.

We are planning to release QuPath v0.5.0 shortly before these events, as the next major release of the software.

  • QuPath-0.4.4-Mac-arm64.pkg - for Macs using Apple Silicon only (experimental). This runs much faster, but you'll need to install OpenSlide separately.
    • To install: right-click and choose Open to install. Note that this will try to install to /Applications/QuPath.app - if you have an older version at that location that you want to keep, you should rename it before installation.
• For Linux
  • QuPath-0.4.4-Linux.tar.xz - use chmod u+x /path/to/QuPath/bin/QuPath to make the launcher executable. If you suffer pixman problems, you might find the alternative bash script /path/to/QuPath/bin/QuPath.sh better for launching the software.

v0.4.3

QuPath v0.4.3 is now available!

This is a minor update, that aims to be compatible with earlier v0.4.x versions while fixing bugs.

It also updates to Bio-Formats 6.12.0. This adds some additional fixes related to reading/writing images, and makes it possible for QuPath to support memoization again.

For more details about how memoization can speed up reading some images, and how to turn on the feature, see #1236

• See the v0.4.0 announcement for more details of the latest features and improvements
• See the changelog for a record of what extra fixes are in v0.4.3

• See the v0.4.0 announcement for more details of the latest features and improvements

The main fix is in v0.4.2 to to point annotations, which couldn't have classifications assigned in v0.4.1 without throwing an error.

• See the v0.4.0 announcement for more details of the latest features and improvements.
• See the changelog for a record of what extra fixes are in v0.4.1

The most annoying bug by far is the one that broke the update message - so QuPath v0.4.0 sadly can't tell anyone that v0.4.1 is available. So ideally everyone on v0.4.0 would switch to v0.4.1 and we can put that little issue behind us.

v0.4.0

QuPath v0.4.0 is now available!

This is a major update, that introduces several new features and includes many other improvements.

No time to describe it all yet - I'll post more info in a day or two to describe what's new, along with releasing some new extensions.

In the meantime, here's a tweet to get started - or check out the Changelog for more details.

What to download

• For Windows (two options, functionally the same)
  • QuPath-0.4.0-Windows.msi - if you want a standard Windows (local) installer
  • QuPath-0.4.0-Windows.zip - unzip it and double-click QuPath-0.4.0.exe (no further installation needed)

    • To install: right-click and choose Open to install. Note that this will try to install to /Applications/QuPath.app - if you have an older version at that location that you want to keep, you should rename it before installation.

Known issues

• Security settings might want to thwart installing/running QuPath. See here for information how to run it anyway.
• On macOS, the installer may choose the generic name 'QuPath' for the installation. You may want to rename it to support different installations more easily (otherwise installations with the same name may be overwritten).

v0.3.2

QuPath v0.3.2 is now available!

This is a minor update, that aims to be compatible with v0.3.0 and v0.3.1 while fixing bugs and improving performance.

The biggest change since v0.3.1 is to revert back to Bio-Formats 6.7.0, to resolve problems that were reported with some SVS files here.

Several smaller fixes are enhancements are included and the update is recommended for all users of v0.3.0 and v0.3.1.
See the Changelog for more details.
