(0.2.3: 15 March 2008, r547)



Beta Release 0.2.2 (15 March 2008)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is mainly a bugfix release.

(0.2.2: 15 March 2008, r541)



Beta Release 0.2.1 (06 December, 2007)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notable changes in this release include:

 * Fixed a bug which may cause segfault in rare cases.

 * Added codes to show a list of reference names to faciliate switching
   reference sequences.

(0.2.1: 06 December 2007, r448)



Beta Release 0.2.0 (30 October, 2007)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The most important change in this release is that the reference sequence
and Maq consensus can be displayed in Maqview. Other improvements
include:

 * For maqindex, a region can be specified with a string like: `chrX',
   `chrX:1000' or `chrX:1,000-2,000'.

 * In maqview, the window can be split into more to view the different
   part of the alignments at the same time.

 * All the coordinates are now 1-based. That is, the coordinate of the
   first base is 1.

(0.2.0: 30 October 2007, r390)



Beta Release 0.1.1 (27 September, 2007)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a release with minor changes. Since this release, maqview has
been accelerated. The building system is also improved, which makes it a
little easier to compile maqview in Linux. LFS (Large File Support) has
been implemented. Maqview compiled on the i386 architecture can be used
to view a alignment file larger than 2Gb.

(0.1.1: 27 September 2007, r318)



Beta Release 0.1.0 (24 September, 2007)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the first release of maqview, the graphical viewer for the maq
alignment files. A command-line tool, maqindex, also comes with this
package to achieve quick retrieval of reads in any specified
regions. Maqview is highly efficient in speed, memory and disk usage. It
is known to work with a 8Gb maq alignment file.

The graphical user interface (GUI) of maqview is based on OpenGL, and
therefore installing OpenGL is required. GLUT is optional, though.
It has been statically linked in the binary distribution.

Maqview simply works, but in this first release, probably you will not
find all the features you are expecting. We are still working on it, and
hope you enjoy this software.
