## [Unreleased]

### Added
- Alternative start codons can now be used in the `synthesis/codon` DNA -> protein translation package (#305)
- Added a parser and writer for the `pileup` sequence alignment format (#329)
- Added statistics to the `synthesis/codon` package (keeping track of the observed start codon occurrences in a translation table) (#350)
- Added option to fragmenter to fragment with only certain overhangs (#387)
- Added seqhash v2 (#398)

### Fixed
- Fixed bug that produced wrong overhang in linear, non-directional, single cut reactions. #408
- `fastq` parser no longer becomes de-aligned when reading (#325)
- `fastq` now handles optionals correctly (#323)
- No more data race in GoldenGate (#276)
- Fixed bug that produced wrong overhang in linear, non-directional, single cut reactions (#408)

### Breaking
- CutWithEnzymeByName is now a receiver of EnzymeManager. GoldenGate now takes an Enzyme instead of the name of an enzyme.
This is an effort to remove dependence on some package level global state and build some flexibility managing enzymes
over the lifetime of the program.
- Enzyme.OverhangLen is now named Enzyme.OverhangLength

Seqhash is a simple algorithm that allows for much better indexing of genetic sequences than what is
currently available.
# Seqhash version 2

Version 1 seqhashes are rather long, and version 2 seqhashes are built to be
much shorter. The intended use case are for handling sequences with LLM systems
since these system's context window is a value resource, and smaller references
allows the system to be more focused. Seqhash version 2 are approximately 3x
smaller than version 1 seqhashes. Officially, they are [16]byte arrays, but can
be also encoded with base64 to get a hash that can be used as a string across
different systems. Here is a length comparison:

version 1: v1_DLD_f4028f93e08c5c23cbb8daa189b0a9802b378f1a1c919dcbcf1608a615f46350
version 2: C_JPQCj5PgjFwjy7jaoYmwqQ==

The metadata is now encoded in a 1 byte flag rather than a metadata string,
instead of 7 rune like in version 1. Rather than use 256 bits for encoding
the hash, we use 120 bits. Since seqhashes are not meant for security, this
is good enough (50% collision with 1.3x10^18 hashes), while making them
conveniently only 16 btyes long. Additionally, encoded prefixes are added
to the front of the base64 encoded hash as a heuristic device for LLMs while
processing batches of seqhashes.

In addition, seqhashes can now encode fragments. Fragments are double stranded
DNA that are the result of restriction digestion, with single stranded
overhangs flanking both sides. These fragments can encode genetic parts - and
an important part of any vector containing these parts would be the part
seqhash, rather than the vector seqhash. This enhancement allows you to
identify genetic parts irregardless of their context.

You can't fragment proteins because they aren't double stranded. (ie, if you fragment them, proteins just become 2 proteins)

If that's the case then maybe this should be called something like FragHash rather than V2?
