The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.1.8 - 2016-01-08

  • Script bc_relative_to_absolute will now round results if requested
  • IdConverter can now append or prepend in addition to replacing IDs
  • More robust FormatGuesser
  • Extended detection of generic file format
  • Handling of relative abundances in unifrac file format
  • Much faster Sampler tool, courtesy of the Math::GSL modules
  • All random number duties relegated to Math::GSL
  • Speed optimizations in Community module
