Finally, we are also very glad to read that Leica Microsystems is working on a reader for the .log/.xlef file formats for inclusion in a future Bio-Formats release. forum.image.sc/t/opening-lof-… Looking forward to this contribution

The 4.2 release of aicsimageio brings support for Bio-Formats to the already-great python image reader! github.com/AllenCellModel… (1/5)

Be sure to check out the supplemental note covering the challenges of translating proprietary formats with bioformats and our view of history and current status of formats and importance of #OMENGFF

For users who are concerned, the workaround is simply to use the `bioformats_package.jar` bundle which provides the same functionalities using a different logging framework. `loci_tools.jar` will be removed in the next release of Bio-Formats.
