</div>
<div class="">Today we are releasing OME Files C++ 0.3.2.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">OME Files is a reference implementation of the OME Data Model and OME-TIFF file format for the storage and interchange of biological imaging data and metadata. It provides support for:</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="">
<li class="">the OME Data Model (model objects, metadata store, XSL transforms and XML validation)</li><li class="">OME-TIFF reading</li><li class="">OME-TIFF writing</li></ul>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This release contains a single bugfix for the Minimal TIFF writer to align its setting of the PlanarConfiguration TIFF tag with the OME-TIFF writer.</div>
