This is also a Bioconda release.

• Tabular reporting option.
• Parsing GTDB/Greengenes style lineages for taxonomic placement.
• Better robust newick parsing and a stable jplace tree.
• Added --summarize option to aggregate all placements or distance-based hits.
• Changed defaults (including multiplacement).

Full Changelog: v0.5.1...v0.5.2

For Bioconda -- Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.5.1

New features:

• Chi-sq option to control placemet algorithm, and faster placement algorithm.
• Saving index metadata in text format for inspection.
• Specify a tree other than the one used during indexing.
• Added multiplacement and best distance reporting.
• Added pext for fast bit extraction when bmi2 is available.

Bug fixes:

• Incorrect pext masking resulted in wrong HD.
• Choosing the closest match histogram with respect to the reverse complement.
• Newick parsing with quotation marks.
• Handling of Ns in queries by ignoring.

Full Changelog: v0.4.3...v0.5.0

• Important bug fixes thanks to @armandiB (issue #6).
  i) Having an input reference sequence shorter than the k-mer (or the minimizer) length triggered a bug which resulted in some of the reference sequences being ignored.
  ii) Setting -w and -k to the same value led to unexpected behavior.

• Significant speed up due to better parallelism, especially with higher number of threads.

Minor changes, made OpenMP optional, alternative binaries with/without libcurl & OpenMP and static/dynamic builds.

• Fixed .jplace field order.

• Added sketching functionality.
• Changed -t to optional, can build an index without a tree.
• Added validation of given arguments and parameter configuration.

• Optional filtering and compatible jplace output.
• Corrected collide probability.
• Minor bug fixes.

This release removes libcurl dependency and lacks the ability to download input references directly from FTP servers.
