v1.2.1
Please note that Bowtie will be switching to the Artistic 2.0 license in the next release.
Pre-build binaries now include statically linked TBB and zlib libraries no longer requiring
these libraries to be pre-installed
- Fixed an issue which caused Bowtie to hang during parallell index building when running an optimized binary
- Deprecated --refout option. It will be fully removed in the next release
- Added parallel index building with the bowtie2-build --threads option (credit to Aidan Reilly - https://github.com/aidanreilly8)
- Added native support for gzipped read files. The wrapper script is no longer responsible for this, which simplifies the wrapper and improves speed and thread scaling.
- Added support for interleaved paired-end FASTQ inputs (--interleaved)
- Fixed issue where first character of some read names was omitted from SAM output when using tabbed input formats
- Fixed issue that caused Bowtie to hang when aligning FASTA inputs with more than one thread
- Bowtie wrapper now works even when invoked via a symlink in a different directory from the executables
- Fixed issue preventing reading --tab5 input on stdin
- Added --no-unal option for suppressing unmapped reads in SAM output
