HybPiper version 2.1.7

• The flag --run_intronerate was removed from the hybpiper assemble command in the run_hybpiper_test_dataset.sh file.
• Removed the legacy check and attempted download of the test dataset in the run_hybpiper_test_dataset.sh file.
• Added a check to hybpiper stats and hybpiper retrieve_sequences to ensure sample names in the namelist.txt file do not contain forward slashes issue#143.
• When checking for putative chimeric gene sequences in hybpiper retrieve_sequences and hybpiper paralog_retriever, generate a warning rather than an error if the file <sample_name>_genes_derived_from_putative_chimeric_stitched_contig.csv can't be found for a given sample. This file will not be written if no gene sequences were produced for this sample (i.e. no reads mapped, no SPAdes contigs, no sequences extracted from SPAdes contigs via Exonerate).
• Check that target file FASTA headers do not contain quotation marks (" or '); issue#125.
• Updated the installation instructions in the README and Wiki to use the Bioconda package, and added installation instruction for Macs with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips).
• Fixed a bug in exonerate_hits.py that meant that hits were not always trimmed to start with the first amino-acid with full alignment identity. This bug could potentially have had an effect on output sequences only if the values for --exonerate_hit_sliding_window_size and/or --exonerate_hit_sliding_window_thresh were changed from default values.
• Use importlib.metadata rather than pkg_resources for module version checks, due to deprecation of the latter.
