[Seqan-dev] SeqAn 2.1 released
Dear SeqAn-users.
We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability of SeqAn-2.1.0! The
new version contains a new module for BLAST e-value statistics and I/O, as
well as support for Journaled String Trees. C++11 features have been
introduced in many places and countless smaller issues have been fixed. The
entire codebase has undergone cleanup and especially the build system was
improved in many ways. Problems with newer compilers and C++-Standards have
been resolved and support for FreeBSD has been added. SeqAn applications are
now shipped as static binaries and the library packages correctly install a
cmake-module and a pkgconfig file.
Very few API changes were necessary, among them the removal of the random
module (which can be replaced with the standard library's). Support for some
compilers had to be dropped, too, most notably we now only support Visual
Studio 2015 on Windows so you may be required to upgrade. For more details,
see the CHANGELOG [1]. We have also released a new minor level release 2.0.2
which contains only bug-fixes and is fully compatible to previous 2.0.x
versions.
Please visit GitHub [2] for more information or head directly to the Downloads
[3].
We would also like to remind you of the upcoming SeqAn User Group Meeting [4]
-- a great chance to learn about new SeqAn features and discuss with the
developers.
Soon we will also present a new homepage, stay tuned!
Best regards,
