Note: Mac pre-compiled binary has not been updated in in this release - will update next week.

New Features
  • Added --alignSoftClipAtReferenceEnds No option which prevents soft clipping of alignments at the reference (chromosome) ends, for compatibility with Cufflinks/Cuffmerge.
  • Added --outSAMflagOR, --outSAMflagAND options to set specific bits of the SAM FLAG.
  • --sjdbFileChrStartEnd can now accept multiple files which will be concatenated.
  • Added --sysShell option to specify path to bash, in cases where bash is not the default shell.
  • --outBAMcompression default changed to 1, which apparently does not change deflation ratio, but is much faster.
  • Added --outBAMsortingThreadN option to specify number of threads for BAM sorting. By default (0) it's equal to min(6,runThreadN).
Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug with output score (AS attribute) of some chimeric alignments.
  • Fixed wrong output of chimeric junctions boundaries in the Chimeric.out.junction file.
  • Fixed the header of the Log.progress.out .
  • Fixed a bug that prevented output of transcriptomic alignments (--quantMode TranscriptomeSAM) with 1 base junction overhangs.
  • Fixed static and dynamic Linux binaries from 2.4.0g1
