Major release with many new features and applications. Note, the majority of the modules are backward compatible to the previous version. Some modules, e.g. I/O-modules, have some adapted easier-to-use or unified interfaces.
- Faster and easier-to-use modules for basic and formatted file I/O:
stream
seq_io
bam_io
vcf_io
gff_io
- Faster data structures:
- FMIndex (up to 4X).
- Packed Strings.
- New alignment modules:
- X-Drop extension for alignments (
align_extend
) - Sequence-profile alignments (
align_profile
)
- X-Drop extension for alignments (
- New AminoAcid-Dna translation module (
translation
) - The motif finding module (
find_module
) has been removed.
- The repository has been migrated to GitHub (https://github.com/seqan/seqan).
- Continuous integration builds happen on TravisCI.
- The manual has been migrated to sphinx (http://seqan.readthedocs.org).

core
andextras
subfolders have been removed.

Documentation-only release backward compatible with 1.4.1.
This minor release should be backward compatible with 1.4. It contains small fixes and many demos for improving the API documentation. Some file format functionality has been added.
- Many new demos and improved API documentation throughout the library.
- New file format support and tutorials for this functionality: VCF I/O, BED I/O, and improvements to GFF and GTF I/O.
