v0.3.1

v0.3.1

• New feature: Row ordering. When in select mode, press o to order rows so similar sequences (by Jaccard distance) are next to each other. Press r to reset order to the original order of the input file.
• Switched back to clap for argument parsing
• Optimization: alen now loads significantly faster.
• Optimization: Consensus calculation is deferred until asked to, then cached. Consensus calculation is also much faster
• Optimization: The alen binary is now smaller
• Various bug fixes

v0.2.0

Alen is now feature complete. I envision leaving this release as-is for a year or so, and if nothing needs to change, re-release Alen in the same state as the final v 1.0.

Initial release

This viewer is now ready to use - although barely functional.
