Hi all This is a small release that adds a fix for side-scrolling on Macs, where the touchpad would trigger the browsers back action.

• JBrowse-1.16.6.zip - minified release
• JBrowse-1.16.6-dev.zip - use this if you modify jbrowse source code or use plugins
• JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-win32-x64.zip
• JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-linux-x64.zip
• JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-darwin-x64.zip

Minor improvements

• Add name regularization for drosophila style chromsome naming so that 2L maps to chr2L and vice versa (@scottcain)

• Add ability to index names in a BEDTabix file, enabled by default. Thanks to @billzt for the idea and implementation (issue #1393)

Bug fixes

• Fix the side scrolling on Mac misbehaving and triggering the browser's back action (a bug that existed only in 1.16.5). Thanks to @nathandunn for debugging (issue #1397)
