Minor improvements
-
Added a new
navigateTo
action usable for customizing feature
left-clicks and right-click menus. Thanks to Scott Cain for
requesting this. -
Added a new
feature_range_cache
option for the REST data backend.
If set to true, the REST backend will more aggressively cache
ranges of feature data. Thanks to Daniel Troesser for pointing out
the need for this (issue #369). -
maker2jbrowse
now, by default, runsgenerate-names.pl
to
generate names indexes. Also added a--no_names_index
option to
turn this off. Thanks to Josie Reinhardt for making me notice this
was missing. -
Tweaked
generate-names.pl
default indexing parameters to
emphasize indexing speed more. Now defaults to a smaller average
file size for the on-disk JSON files it produces, which is much
faster to generate and write (up to 8 or 10x faster). However, the
on-disk index is about 2-2.5x larger overall. -
Removed support for the
--refids
command-line argument to
prepare-refseqs.pl
, which has probably never really worked. -
Improved
prepare-refseqs.pl
support for Bio::DB::Das::Chado
database backends. Thanks to Gwendoline Andres for helping
troubleshoot this.
Bug fixes
-
Fixed generate-names.pl making incorrect name indexes when using 16
or more bits of hashing (when the number of index entries exceeds
about 4 million). Thanks to Josie Reinhardt for helping
troubleshoot this (issue #370). -
The faceted track selector no longer refuses to display track
unique labels even if they are explicitly included in the
displayColumns
setting.
