Highlights of this release include support for outputting phased variants in HaplotypeCaller/Mutect2, restoring the --include-non-variant-sites argument to GenotypeGVCFs, a port of the GATK3 tool VariantEval, a new library (Disq, https://github.com/disq-bio/disq) for working with BAM/CRAM/VCF/etc. formats on Spark, and GCS (Google Cloud Storage) support in Funcotator.

As usual, a docker image for this release can be downloaded from https://hub.docker.com/r/broadinstitute/gatk/
