phylonium v1.7

This release has only two small changes.

• Phylonium can now be linked against libdna for extra performance.
• By default phylonium now supports genomes longer than 2^31 nucleotides.

phylonium v1.6

This release has two changes.

1. Only common extensions of fasta files are stripped (.fa, .fas, .fasta).
2. Updating the catch2 library to fix a build error on ubuntu.

phylonium v1.5

No functional change. This release fixes a build failure on latest clang.

phylonium v1.4

This release removes GSL for good.

phylonium v1.3

This release simplifies the installation process by removing the GSL dependency. Other changes include

• more robust parsing
• hidden -p switch

Phylonium v1.2

This version fixes a performance regression in the previous release. I used the opportunity to speed up phylonium on machines with AVX2. I further fixed build errors on various machines and documented the configure switches in the manual.

Phylonium v1.1

This is a maintenance release. It fixes one bug and enables building on older systems. On compilers that don't know AVX512 use ./configure --disable-avx512. On less common non-x86/non-amd64 CPUs use ./configure --disable-x86simd.

Unfortunately, this release contains a performance regression. It will be fixed in due course.

phylonium v1.0

This is the first stable release of phylonium. It is our latest tool for high-perfmance genome comparison. It can compare all E. coli from ENSEMBL in a few minutes. More on that in the paper once it has been published.

Refer to the manual for installation instructions.

phylonium 0.4

This release comes with a faster parser, better portability and complete deletion.
