v0.7.11
OpenHCS 0.7.11 is a beta release of the typed, compile-first high-content microscopy platform.
Highlights
- preserves the installed Python interpreter for multiprocessing on Windows;
- polishes desktop monitoring, branding, and typed monitor settings;
- ships the GUI, CellProfiler compatibility, viewer integrations, and local MCP server through the same release workflow.
Install
- Windows: download
OpenHCS-Windows-Installer.exebelow. - macOS: download
OpenHCS-macOS-Installer.dmgbelow. - Python 3.11–3.13:
python -m pip install "openhcs[gui,viz,bioformats,mcp,cellprofiler-compat]==0.7.11"
The MCP Registry identifier is io.github.OpenHCSDev/openhcs. The supported server is local stdio and uses explicit read/write roots; see the MCP client guide before granting data or execution capabilities.
Verification
The v0.7.11 publish workflow built and published the package, installers, and registry metadata. The subsequent integration workflow passed the platform matrix; its native Windows acceptance completed the installed MCP demo and observed nine nonzero Napari layers.
Trust and platform boundaries
The current Windows installer is not code-signed and the macOS installer is not signed or notarized. SmartScreen or Gatekeeper may therefore require explicit confirmation. Download assets only from this repository. Desktop installers are CPU-first, GPU packages are opt-in, and Fiji Java components are resolved on first use.
