v1.3.0: major release
Large effort have been taken to improve the software when applied to large real-world datasets. We use the well-specified Bioboxes binning format as standard output.
Changed
- core: rewrite of RPA with better handling of input alignments and speed improvements
- core: C++11 compatibility
- core: exception handling
- core: bioboxes output format
- core: suppress some notifications
- core: much better scaling core algorithm due to homolog selection heuristic, there is no need to restrict the number of input alignments any more
- extended: CPU core auto-detection, now working with Linux taskset/cpusets
- extended: support for multi-core alignment with LAST (lastal-parallel wrapper script)
- extended: support of parallel search with LAST by integration of GNU parallel in script lastal-parallel, uses lz4 compression of temporary data
- extended: faster conversion by integration of GNU parallel in script lastmaf2alignments-parallel
- extended: integration of KronaTools for interactive pie chart plotting
- extended: download script for sample refpack removed, the project page will point to a location from where to download refpacks
