Releases: GMOD/jbrowse-components
Release v1.5.2
We're excited to present some great new features and performance improvements in v1.5.2!
New arc display type
A new display type has been added for drawing arcs. The color, thickness, height, label, and caption of the arcs can be customized.
New plugin build system
We've re-worked the system used by developers to build external plugins for more stability and flexibility. The current plugin build system will continue to work, but if you want to check out how the new template works, check out the JBrowse Plugin Template.
Storybook docs added for Circular Genome View React component
Find them linked under @jbrowse/react-circular-genome-view
here.
Performance improvements
The alignments track now has 25% faster speed on most datasets and particularly on deep short read sequencing, it can be up to 10x faster.

Release v1.5.0
We are pleased to present the release of v1.5.0! We have some major new features to announce with this version!
JBrowse Desktop
JBrowse Desktop is our fully featured desktop application available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Everything you can do with JBrowse Web, you can do with JBrowse Desktop! In fact, because it runs as a desktop app, JBrowse Desktop can do things that the web can't like saving sessions to a file on your computer to revisit later.
JBrowse Desktop features a new landing page designed to help you manage your work. Here's a few things you can do with it:
- re-visit saved sessions using the recent session panel
- launch new sessions easily from the quick start panel (e.g. hg19 and hg38 are built-in)
- create a new entries in the quick start panel (e.g. quick launch your favorite organism)
- quickly rename or delete sessions from the landing page
With JBrowse Desktop, your genome browser and your web browser can finally live in harmony on your taskbar! ❤️

Release v1.4.4
We're excited to announce the v1.4.4 release! Some highlights of this release
include:
Text searching
Finally, we have added the ability to search by gene name!
Users will now be able to create their own text indexes with the jbrowse text-index
command, which creates an index for searching by gene names, identifiers and descriptions.
GIF showing the process of searching via the location search box of the Linear Genome View
For a quick introduction and a tutorial on how to add this feature to your JBrowse instance, check out this quick start
Like most parts of JBrowse, the text searching system is pluggable. Plugin developers can add new text index adapters to connect JBrowse to other types of text search services, indexes, or databases.
Users of the @jbrowse/react-linear-genome-view can also enable text searching functionality, see https://jbrowse.org/storybook/lgv/v1.4.0/?path=/story/text-searching--page
Note that 1.4.0-1.4.3 had issues during publish, so we moved all release notes for them to here. Thanks to @bbimber for letting us know about these issues.

Release v1.3.5
We're excited to announce the v1.3.5 release of JBrowse! Some highlights of this release include:
New embedding build of @jbrowse/react-linear-genome-view
This release adds a new UMD build of our @jbrowse/react-linear-genome-view
React component. This build will allow users to use our React Linear Genome View in a website that doesn't otherwise use React. See a tutorial for how to get started using this build:
A preliminary beta version of this build was used in a tutorial at BOSC2020, and that tutorial was also on our website. If you've used that version, the interface has changed somewhat, so come check out the new tutorial for the official released version!
Bookmark widget
A new widget has been added that is accessible from the Linear Genome View view menu or when you click and drag over a region in the header (a.k.a rubber band selection). This view keeps a list of bookmarked regions, which you can add custom labels to, and also which you can use to navigate back to that region. The bookmarks can also be exported.
Note to plugin developers
If your plugin adds menu items or context menu items to a track, or customizes renderProps
, there may be some changes that affect how those menu items work, particularly in #2226 and #2229. Also see an updated example of context menu items here.
