News/GBrowse 1.70 Released
Hello,
I am pleased to announce the official release of
GBrowse 1.70. This is a bug fix release for
GBrowse 1.69. It introduces no new functionality to the GBrowse portion
of the application, however,
GBrowse_syn is considerably improved
along with documentation and a
tutorial.
There will likely be one more release in the GBrowse 1 development path,
which will introduce improved support for circular genomes. After that,
development on this path will end and further development will focus on
GBrowse 2.
GBrowse can be installed with the GBrowse
netinstaller.
GBrowse 1.70 can be downloaded directly from
SourceForge.
A big thanks to Lincoln Stein, the lead
developer of GBrowse, Sheldon McKay, the
developer of GBrowse_syn, and all of the GBrowse users who debug and
provide help on the GBrowse mailing
list.
Changes from 1.69 to 1.70:
- Bug fixes for the Chado adapter, including improving wildcard
searching and fixing a bug that caused ALL features on a reference
sequence to be returned when the segment was at the beginning of the
reference sequence.
- Fixed Galaxy support bug which caused
prevented features from multiple tracks being selected.
- Fixed problem with feature highlighting which caused highlighting to
get “stuck”on beige.
- Removed annoying debugging statements from log files
- Fixed character encoding issues for onClick popup balloons
- Killed annoying “missing path” warning on windows systems
- Fixed issue in which the selected region shown in the overview is
offset from true region.
- Silenced log file warnings when inkscape isn’t present.
- Added “merge searches” option to turn merging of similarly-named
features on and off.
- Moved Bio::DB::Das::Chado and Bio::DB::BioSQL to their own packages
and out of the GBrowse distribution so they can be updated
independently via CPAN
- Fixed encoding of version number at the bottom of the page.
- Made the DAS
script compatible with DAS Registry
