[ome-devel] Release of OME Files C++ 0.3.2

[Helen Flynn (Staff)]

Dear All,

Today we are releasing OME Files C++ 0.3.2.

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:

  *   the OME Data Model (model objects, metadata store, XSL transforms and XML validation)
  *   OME-TIFF reading
  *   OME-TIFF writing

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.
