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
