JBrowse 1.7.3 bugfix release
JBrowse 1.7.3 has been released, containing fixes for some more issues found in the 1.7.2 release and earlier. Remote BAM access is rather difficult to get right, thanks very much to the people who continue to step forward to report and help correct problems with JBrowse displaying their BAM data.

Fixed several more bugs in the BAM data backend that prevented display of some BAM files. Thanks to Gleb Kuznetzov for help in isolating these.
Fixed bug in display of faceted track selector in which the facet titles were taking up too much vertical height. Thanks to Steffi Geisen for pointing this out.
"Alignments" tracks now parse an alignment's CIGAR string if it does not have an MD field, and display mismatches and skipped sequence regions (particularly important for RNA-seq alignments). Thanks to Gregg Helt for providing the sample dataset used to test this.
Added support for a
showReverseStrandconfig variable to Sequence track that, if set to false, turns off display of the reverse sequence strand."Alignments" tracks now show reads with missing mate pairs with a red crosshatched pattern instead of with a red border.
Added an Apache .htaccess file to the JBrowse root directory that enabled CORS by default for all files under it, if AllowOverride is on.
Fixed bug in which the vertical scroll position can sometimes be set too far down when zooming in and out.
Fixed some bugs in server-side formatting code for feature tracks: data was recorded multiple times in JSON files in some circumstances. Thanks to Volodymyr Zavidovych and Steffi Geisen for pointing this out.
