This is a preview version for testing.
We think it's the final preview version before v0.6.0 is released... although we've been wrong before.

Please don't use v0.6.0-rc5 for important work, and make sure you back up any projects that you open with it.
It is not recommended to switch between v0.5.x and v0.6.0-rcx for the same project.
Highlights
See v0.6.0-rc1, v0.6.0-rc2, v0.6.0-rc3 and v0.6.0-rc4 for information about the previous release candidates.
The main changes in v0.6.0-rc5 are:
- Fixed a bug that could cause QuPath to use too much memory (#1864)
- Update toolbar to important buttons are visible on smaller displays (#1841)
- Save projects when running from command line with
-sparameter (#1859) - Add a dock button to keep project descriptions open (#1856)

RenderedImageServer(#1849) - Add support for OME-XML shapes (#1848)
Note: For users of macOS Sequoia
Recent security changes in macOS Sequoia may block QuPath's installer.
