1 Noteworthy changes in release 1.2.1 (3 February 2015)
2
3 * Reinstated hts_file_type() and FT_* macros, which were available until 1.1
4 but briefly removed in 1.2. This function is deprecated and will be removed
5 in a future release -- you should use hts_detect_format() etc instead

8 Noteworthy changes in release 1.2 (2 February 2015)
9
10 * HTSlib now has a configure script which checks your build environment
11 and allows for selection of optional extras. See INSTALL for details
12
13 * By default, reference sequences are fetched from the EBI CRAM Reference
14 Registry and cached in your $HOME cache directory. This behaviour can
15 be controlled by setting REF_PATH and REF_CACHE enviroment variables
16 (see the samtools(1) man page for details)
17
18 * Numerous CRAM improvements:
19 - Support for CRAM v3.0, an upcoming revision to CRAM supporting
20 better compression and per-container checksums
21 - EOF checking for v2.1 and v3.0 (similar to checking BAM EOF blocks)
22 - Non-standard values for PNEXT and TLEN fields are now preserved
23 - hts_set_fai_filename() now provides a reference file when encoding
24 - Generated read names are now numbered from 1, rather than being
25 labelled 'slice:record-in-slice'
26 - Multi-threading and speed improvements
27
28 * New htsfile command for identifying file formats, and corresponding
29 file format detection APIs
30
31 * New tabix --regions FILE, --targets FILE options for filtering via BED files
32
33 * Optional iRODS file access, disabled by default. Configure with --with-irods
34 to enable accessing iRODS data objects directly via 'irods:DATAOBJ'
35
36 * All occurences of 2^29 in the source have been eliminated, so indexing
37 and querying against reference sequences larger than 512Mbp works (when
38 using CSI indices)
39
40 * Support for plain GZIP compression in various places
41
42 * VCF header editing speed improvements
43
44 * Added seq_nt16_int[] (equivalent to the samtools API's bam_nt16_nt4_table)
45
46 * Reinstated faidx_fetch_nseq(), which was accidentally removed from 1.1.
47 Now faidx_fetch_nseq() and faidx_nseq() are equivalent; eventually
48 faidx_fetch_nseq() will be deprecated and removed [#156]
49
50 * Fixed bugs #141, #152, #155, #158, #159, and various memory leaks
