3.8.0

New features

• longrange file format support — long-range interaction files (BED-like, with the target
  locus and score encoded in column 4 as chr:start-end,score) are now auto-detected by extension
  or track line and loaded as interaction tracks (#2066).

• Alignment track "group by insertion" — new group-by option for alignment tracks, and the full
  set of group-by options now works consistently for view-as-pairs (paired alignments).

• Clicked features in the trackclick event — the callback receives a fourth argument, the array
  of features under the click, for tracks of type annotation:

  browser.on('trackclick', (track, popoverData, genomicLocation, features) => { ... })
  
  (#2058)

• ROI description alias — ROI features accept description as an alias for name, for
  compatibility with IGV desktop.

Bug fixes

• Fixed sample-name button behavior (#2074, #2076).
• Fixed several problems with paired alignments and alignment tags (#2073).
• Canvas is now removed when a track viewport cache is cleared, fixing stale rendering (#2072).

Other

• Removed circular dependencies among internal modules.
• Added index dashboards for the examples and dev folders, and source links on example pages (#2071).

Changelog since v3.7.3.
