Changelog
There are major updates in this beta:
- We have moved to using Salmon for read assignment. This has brought a massive speedup over using eXpress, because Salmon can use any number of cores (while eXpress is restricted to 3), and Salmon is generally optimised for speed
- We've managed to eliminate much of the IO bottleneck that was caused by processing BAM files, thanks to the collaboration of the Salmon developer
- We've fixed some bugs in the SNAP aligner that we depend on
- Minor bug fixes in basic contig metrics for unusual kinds of inputs
- Improved error handling and logging
- Improved dependency management, with fewer dependencies
