v2.0.4: Update in `all2all-sp` mode: `above` and `below` options supported.

Automatic release deployment

v2.0.3: Bugfix release

Bugfix for wrong input (non-DNA).

v2.0.2: Second version

• Added new modes: all2all_sparse, all2all_parts,
• Serious time and memory optimizations,
• Support of MacOS (Apple M and x86 CPUs) and ARM platforms.

v1.11.1

Changes from the previous release:

• Removed deadlock in -multisample-fasta mode,
• Added support of sparse inputs in distance mode,
• Added support of sparse outputs in all2all, new2all, and distance modes (-sparse switch) with optional filtering (-above/-below),
• Extended help information.

v1.9.4

GitHub Actions badge fixed

v1.9.2

Changes from the last release:

• Output matrices can be stored in sparse format (-sparse switch).
• Better workload balancing.
• Improved parallelization scheme in new2all mode (few-fold speed improvement).
• Reduced memory footprint of -multisample-fasta mode.
• More than one input FASTA files supported in -multisample-fasta mode.
• Added -extend switch which allows extending existing kmer database.
• Serialization/deserialization works much faster now.
• Fixed serious bug in -multisample-fasta mode which caused incorrect kmers counting.

v1.7.6

• Sources compile under macOS.
• Basic tests have been added.
• Fixed bug in distance mode when sequence id contained spaces.
• Makefile update (automatic detection of support of AVX2, different handling of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS).

v1.7.5

• Some compilation warnings removed.
• Fixed crash on samples with small k-mers count or very small filter values.

v1.7.3

Added:

• For performance reasons upper triangle (with diagonal) of distance matrix in all2all mode is no longer saved.
• Possibility to specify low threshold of k-mer minhash filter (-f-start parameter).
• When loading genome files, exact filenames are examined first. If this fails, an attempt to add predefined extensions is made.
• Added new distance measure -mash-query which is a mash distance calculated w.r.t. a query length (use if the query is much shorter than database sequences).
• C++11 compatibility (compiles with G++ 4.8.5).

Fixed:

• Rare bug in hashtable when k-mer containing only T bases was treated as an empty entry. Now an empty item is indicated by a special value instead of a special key.

v1.6.2: After data structure update - stable

Note: Starting from this release version numbering conforms to major.minor.patch scheme.

Added:

1. Switch-phylip-out in distance mode which allows storing distance/similarity matrices in Phylip format.

Fixed several bugs from 1.51 release:

1. Incorrect support of k-mer lengths < 16.
2. Very long processing of long k-mers (k >= 26).
3. Segmentation fault when storing minhashed k-mers on a disk (minhash mode).
