Dear openBIS users,

an Early Access Release of openBIS, openBIS 6.7, is available:

> **[Download Early Access Release - openbis - Confluence](https://unlimited.ethz.ch/spaces/openbis/pages/240493370/Download+Early+Access+Release)**

The main new features included in this release are:

- Data modelling: lifted restrictions on openBIS hierarchy in ELN. It is now possible to create Objects directly under Spaces and Projects.
- New icons in ELN UI
- Availability of AFS in ELN UI
- Imaging technology: [Imaging technology — Python documentation](https://openbis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/software-developer-documentation/server-side-extensions/dss-imaging.html)

The first 3 points are presented in this short video: [openBIS | openBIS 6.7](https://openbis.ch/index.php/openbis-6-7/)

This release must NOT be used in production and NO support for this release is provided.

This release should be used by users and developers for testing some of the functionalities which will become available in the next openBIS major version, openBIS 7.0 ([openBIS 7](https://community.openbis.ch/t/openbis-7/146) and [openBIS 7 update](https://community.openbis.ch/t/roadmap-update-2024-08-openbis-7/387)).

We will be happy to receive feedback from anyone who would like to test it.
