Release date: Nov 25, 2021.

Added

• Added support for generic readers: not just buffered file readers, but any reader object that implements both Read and Seek. As a consequence, TwoBitFile is now generic over R: Read + Seek.
• Added boxed() method that converts the underlying reader objects to a boxed trait object in order to help with type erasure if needed.
• Added constructor that reads a file into memory: open_and_read().
• Added type aliases for convenience: TwoBitPhysicalFile when reading from a buffered file object; TwoBitMemoryFile when reading a file into memory first; BoxTwoBitFile when boxing the internal reader.
• Added constructor that reads from a given buffer: from_buf().
• Added error::Result type alias.

Changed

• Core parsing routines have been rewritten from scratch, yielding an order of magnitude performance improvement.
• Remove softmask_enabled from constructors. This option is now disabled by default and can be enabled via enable_softmask() method.
• All methods that involve reading are now &mut self.
• sequence() method has been renamed to read_sequence().
• Replaced chroms() method with chrom_names() and chrom_sizes() methods.
• Removed all potential panics in reading methods.
• Updated the docs, the code is now clippy-compliant, enabled CI, added benches.
• Removed full_*() methods; instead, all reading methods now expect ranges. In order to read the entire sequence, .. range can be passed in.
