+Beta Release 0.1.4 (21 May, 2009)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Notable changes:
+
+ * Added the 'rmdupse' command: removing duplicates for SE reads.
+
+ * Fixed a critical bug in the indel caller: clipped alignments are not
+ processed correctly.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the tview: gapped alignment may be incorrectly
+ displayed.
+
+ * Unified the interface to BAM and SAM I/O. This is done by
+ implementing a wrapper on top of the old APIs and therefore old APIs
+ are still valid. The new I/O APIs also recognize the @SQ header
+ lines.
+
+ * Generate the MD tag.
+
+ * Generate "=" bases. However, the indel caller will not work when "="
+ bases are present.
+
+ * Enhanced support of color-read display (by Nils Homer).
+
+ * Implemented the GNU building system. However, currently the building
+ system does not generate libbam.a. We will improve this later. For
+ the time being, `make -f Makefile.generic' is preferred.
+
+ * Fixed a minor bug in pileup: the first read in a chromosome may be
+ skipped.
+
+ * Fixed bugs in bam_aux.c. These bugs do not affect other components as
+ they were not used previously.
+
+ * Output the 'SM' tag from maq2sam.

+
+Beta Release 0.1.3 (15 April, 2009)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Notable changes in SAMtools:
+
+ * SAMtools is more consistent with the specification: a) '*' in the
+ QUAL field is allowed; b) the field separator is TAB only and SPACE
+ is treated as a character in a field; c) empty header is allowed.
+
+ * Implemented GLFv3 support in pileup.
+
+ * Fixed a severe bug in fixmate: strand information is wrongly
+ overwritten.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in alignment retrieval: alignments bridging n*16384bp are
+ not correctly retrieved sometimes.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in rmdup: segfault if unmapped reads are present.
+
+ * Move indel_filter.pl to samtools.pl and improved the filtering by
+ checking the actual number of alignments containing indels. The indel
+ pileup line is also changed a little to make this filtration easier.
+
+ * Fixed a minor bug in indexing: the bin number of an unmapped read is
+ wrongly calculated.
+
+ * Added `flagstat' command to show statistics on the FLAG field.
+
+ * Improved indel caller by setting the maximum window size in local
+ realignment.
+
+Changes in other utilities:
+
+ * Fixed a bug in maq2sam: a tag name is obsolete.
+
+ * Improvement to wgsim: a) added support for SOLiD read simulation; b)
+ show the number of substitutions/indels/errors in read name; c)
+ considerable code clean up.
+
+ * Various converters: improved functionality in general.
+
+ * Updated the example SAM due to the previous bug in fixmate.
+

+
+
+
+Beta Release 0.1.2 (28 January, 2008)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Notable changes in SAMtools:
+
+ * Implemented a Bayesian indel caller. The new caller generate scores
+ and genotype and is potentially more accurate than Maq's indel
+ caller. The pileup format is also changed accordingly.
+
+ * Implemented rmdup command: remove potential PCR duplicates. Note that
+ this command ONLY works for FR orientation and requires ISIZE is
+ correctly set.
+
+ * Added fixmate command: fill in mate coordinates, ISIZE and mate
+ related flags from a name-sorted alignment.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in indexing: reads bridging 16x kbp were not retrieved.
+
+ * Allow to select reads shown in the pileup output with a mask.
+
+ * Generate GLFv2 from pileup.
+
+ * Added two more flags for flagging PCR/optical duplicates and for QC
+ failure.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in sort command: name sorting for large alignment did not
+ work.
+
+ * Allow to completely disable RAZF (using Makefile.lite) as some people
+ have problem to compile it.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in import command when there are reads without
+ coordinates.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in tview: clipping broke the alignment viewer.
+
+ * Fixed a compiling error when _NO_CURSES is applied.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in merge command.
+
+Changes in other utilities:
+
+ * Added wgsim, a paired-end reads simulator. Wgsim was adapted from
+ maq's reads simulator. Colin Hercus further improved it to allow
+ longer indels.
+
+ * Added wgsim_eval.pl, a script that evaluates the accuracy of
+ alignment on reads generated by wgsim.
+
+ * Added soap2sam.pl, a SOAP2->SAM converter. This converter does not
+ work properly when multiple hits are output.
+
+ * Added bowtie2sam.pl, a Bowtie->SAM converter. Only the top hit will
+ be retained when multiple hits are present.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in export2sam.pl for QC reads.
+
+ * Support RG tag at MAQ->SAM converter.
+
+ * Added novo2sam.pl, a NovoAlign->SAM converter. Multiple hits and
+ indel are not properly handled, though.
+
+ * Added zoom2sam.pl, a ZOOM->SAM converter. It only works with the
+ default Illumina output.
