Removed "XX has no data for this chromosome" popup warning message. It was just annoying and not very useful.
Added an optional "yScalePosition" element to track configs that allows configs with Y axes to have those axes positioned on the left or right side of the view, as well as in the center. Thanks to Alexis Grimaldi for making this change.
Fixed a bug in which NCList-based tracks display with an error for reference sequences on which they have no data. Thanks to Michael Axtell for pointing this out.
Improved GFF3 handling in the File->Open tool, fixed a bug in the GFF3 parser in which an empty (.) source column caused the GFF3 parser to crash.
Improved scrolling speed when many HTML feature tracks are active.
Fixed a bug in which the browser can fail to start for a reference sequence that has never been seen before.
Fixed a confusing behavior in JBrowse/Store/SeqFeature/REST in which the URLs it constructs to fetch from did not always have a '/' where one would expect. Thanks to Alex Kalderimis for pointing this out.
