Cytoband overview​

This can also appear in SVG exports

Plugins can integrate with "Add track" workflow better​

Plugins that register new adapter types can integrate with the "Add track" workflow by registering themselves for a particular file type or file extension with the Core-guessAdapterForLocation

Open plaintext FASTA file on JBrowse desktop​

Users can now open a plain FASTA instead of an indexed FASTA on JBrowse desktop, and it will create a .fai index on the fly
