Setting up multi-way synteny views can be performed from the "import form" or via the URL params. We envision further enhancements to come to improve functionality and ease-of-use of these views also.

This release adds some significant new features

• Alignments track 'Group by' functionality: this feature allows you to split an alignments track by a specific tag such as RG or HP into multiple new session tracks
• A new adapter type to display sequence names from NCBI FASTA file such as NC_000001.10 in the user interface as chr1. This specifically targets the NCBI "sequence_report.tsv" format to do this renaming, and is called NcbiSequenceReportAliasAdapter

Example screenshot after applying the new Alignments track "Group by" functionality to group by the HP (haplotype) tag. Note that technically, each group is launched as a separate new "session track"
