JBrowse 1.16.9 maintenance release

May 21, 2020

Hi all! I am pleased to announce JBrowse 1.16.9

This contains a couple small bugfixes and features and includes great feedback from the community. Thanks to our users, issue creators, and PR submitters!

Minor improvements

  • Added a 'Reset to defaults' menu item, which addresses a long standing issue. Thanks to Tomass Baltmanis for their contribution (issue #1496, issue #764).

  • Disable coordinate indicator on tab switch, thanks @lukaw3d (issue #1497)

  • Small optimization bumping @gmod/bam from version 1.0.35->1.0.36 (@cmdcolin)

  • Add ability to include/hide variant filters instead of just hide (@cmdcolin, issue #1478)

  • Add ability to color by TS tag. The useXS config now applies to XS and TS, and the useTS tag only applies to the lower-case ts tag used by minimap2 (issue #1493, @cmdcolin)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a race condition in the http-range-fetcher module that caused "Error: "failed to retrieve file size"" messages when many tracks were opened at once. Thanks to @russellmyers for the bug report! (issue #1473)

  • Fixed error with exporting highlighted regions with Save track data, thanks to @lipan6461188 for reporting (issue #1488)

  • Fixed ability to have custom mouseovers on features that have no default mouseover e.g. features with no name or ID. Thanks to @scottcain for reporting (issue #1487)

  • Fixed the response for requests to HTTP 403 errors. Thanks to @ilaydabozan for reporting (issue #1490)

  • When there is only a single coordinate column in a tabix file, there is now improved performance since the overlap checking code was incorrect before in @gmod/tabix (@cmdcolin)

  • Fix usage of bigwig "scoreType":"maxScore" config for bigwig tracks (@cmdcolin, issue #1380)

  • Fix a crash related to NCList histogram when a featureScale is applied (issue #1327)

  • Make it so that VCF tracks don't require CORS headers for Content-Range (@cmdcolin)
