===============================================================================

Version 1.3.0:  December 11, 2022
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+ Various updates to internals and error messages.

AssignGenes:

+ Added support for ``.fastq`` files. If a ``.fastq`` file is input, then a
  corresponding ``.fasta`` file will be created in output directory.
+ Added support for C region alignment calls provide by IgBLAST v1.18+.

MakeDb:

+ Added support for C region alignment calls provide by IgBLAST v1.18+.


Version 1.2.0:  October 29, 2021
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AssignGenes:

+ Fixed reporting of IgBLAST output counts when specifying ``--format airr``.

BuildTrees:

+ Added support for specifying fixed omega and hotness parameters at the
  commandline.

CreateGermlines:

+ Will now use the first allele in the reference database when duplicate
  allele names are provided. Only appears to affect mouse BCR light chains
  and TCR alleles in the IMGT database when the same allele name differs by
  strain.

MakeDb:

+ Added support for changes in how IMGT/HighV-QUEST v1.8.4 handles special
  characters in sequence identifiers.
+ Fixed the ``imgt`` subcommand incorrectly allowing execution without
  specifying the IMGT/HighV-QUEST output file at the commandline.

  IMGT/HighV-QUEST versions older than v1.8.3, they were truncated to 50 characters.
  ``--imgt-id-len`` default value is 49. Users should specify ``--imgt-id-len 50``
  to analyze IMGT results generated with IMGT/HighV-QUEST versions older than v1.8.3.
+ Added the ``--infer-junction`` argument to ``MakeDb igblast``, to enable the inference
  of the junction sequence when not reported by IgBLAST. Should be used with data from

  to the ``-r`` argument are IMGT-gapped. A warning will be issued to standard
  error if the reference sequence fail the check.
+ Will perform a check for some of the required columns in the input file and
  exit if they are not found.

MakeDb:

+ Changed the output of ``SEQUENCE_VDJ`` from the igblast subcommand to retain
  insertions in the query sequence rather than delete them as is done in the
  ``SEQUENCE_IMGT`` field.
+ Will now perform a naive verification that the reference sequences provided
  to the ``-r`` argument are IMGT-gapped. A warning will be issued to standard

  argument to the imgt subcommand such that it now reports no value when no
  value is reported by IMGT, rather than reporting the reading frame as 0 in
  these cases.
+ Fixed parsing of ``IN_FRAME``, ``STOP``, ``D_SEQ_START`` and ``D_SEQ_LENGTH``
  fields from iHMMune-Align output.
+ Removed extraneous score fields from each parser.

to be able to handle files with larger number of UMIs in one field.

Renamed the fields ``N1_LENGTH`` to ``NP1_LENGTH`` and ``N2_LENGTH``
to ``NP2_LENGTH``.

CreateGermlines:

+ Added differentiation of the N and P regions the the ``REGION`` log field
  if the N/P region info is present in the input file (eg, from the
  ``--junction`` argument to MakeDb-imgt). If the additional N/P region
  columns are not present, then both N and P regions will be denoted by N,
  as in previous versions.
+ Added the option 'regions' to the ``-g`` argument to create add the
  ``GERMLINE_REGIONS`` field to the output which represents the germline
  positions as V, D, J, N and P characters. This is equivalent to the

  the bygroup subcommand.

MakeDb:

+ Fixed a bug producing ``D_SEQ_START`` and ``J_SEQ_START`` relative to
  ``SEQUENCE_VDJ`` when they should be relative to ``SEQUENCE_INPUT``.
+ Added the argument ``--junction`` to the imgt subcommand to parse additional
  junction information fields, including N/P region lengths and the D-segment
  reading frame. This provides the following additional output fields:
  ``D_FRAME``, ``N1_LENGTH``, ``N2_LENGTH``, ``P3V_LENGTH``, ``P5D_LENGTH``,
  ``P3D_LENGTH``, ``P5J_LENGTH``.
+ The fields ``N1_LENGTH`` and ``N2_LENGTH`` have been renamed to accommodate
  adding additional output from IMGT under the ``--junction`` flag. The new
  names are ``NP1_LENGTH`` and ``NP2_LENGTH``.
+ Fixed a bug that caused the ``IN_FRAME``, ``MUTATED_INVARIANT`` and
  ``STOP`` field to be be parsed incorrectly from IMGT data.
+ Ouput from iHMMuneAlign can now be parsed via the ``ihmm`` subcommand.
  Note, there is insufficient information returned by iHMMuneAlign to
  reliably reconstruct germline sequences from the output using
  CreateGermlines.


ParseDb:

+ Renamed the clip subcommand to baseline.
