 - [[PR #462](https://github.com/nf-core/chipseq/pull/462)] - Updated pipeline template to [nf-core/tools 3.2.1](https://github.com/nf-core/tools/releases/tag/3.2.1)
 - [[#468](https://github.com/nf-core/chipseq/issues/468)] - Changed bigWig generation to use `-bga` option instead of `-bg` in `bedtools genomecov` for lower background levels and better IGV visualization. Users can revert to previous behavior using configuration. See [documentation](https://nf-co.re/chipseq/dev/docs/output/#normalised-bigwig-files) for details.

-Note, since the pipeline is now using Nextflow DSL2, each process will be run with its own [Biocontainer](https://biocontainers.pro/#/registry). This means that on occasion it is entirely possible for the pipeline to be using different versions of the same tool.
