Files for download:

  • JBrowse-1.8.1.zip - 3.3M

  • JBrowse-1.8.1-dev.zip - 28.6M Changes in this release:

  • Added support for cigarAttribute and mdAttributes configuration variables to Alignments and Alignments2 tracks, allowing users to change which feature attribute is used for showing mismatches (issue #200).

  • Fixed some bugs preventing Alignments and Alignments2 tracks from working with non-BAM data backends.

  • Added --trackLabel and --key options to prepare-refseqs.pl, allowing users to specify the sequence track's label and title.

  • Added --seqType option to prepare-refseqs.pl, allowing users to specify the type of sequences being formatted, usually either 'dna', 'rna', or 'protein'. Additionally, if --seqType is something over than DNA (case insensitive), "showReverseStrand" is set to false on the reference sequence track.

  • Added a shareURL configuration option that accepts a JS function to assemble the URL that users will get when clicking the "Share" button or the "Full view" link in embedded mode (issue #198).

  • Fixed annoying bug in which popup feature detail boxes are initially scrolled all the way to the bottom.
