|---|
| 8 |  | 
|---|
| 9 | - (Note: Details about ticket numbers (#NUM) specified below can be viewed at http://bugs.arb-home.de/ticket/NUM) | 
|---|
| 10 | - ARB PARSIMONY | 
|---|
| 11 | * topology optimization | 
|---|
| 12 | - now (by default) strictly restricted to marked/visible parts of the tree (#640) | 
|---|
| 13 | - restriction now customizable (marked/all; visible/all) | 
|---|
| 14 | - tree costs for protein-data were not independent from root-position (as expected by model; #633). | 
|---|
| 15 | Caused infinite running optimization under some circumstances. | 
|---|
| 16 | - optimize-modes now strictly restrict to clicked subtrees. single/repeated optimization possible. | 
|---|
| 17 | - KL-optimizer |

|---|
| 20 | * improved general optimization speed | 
|---|
| 21 | * branchlength calculation | 
|---|

| 25 | - 'add partial species' failed if two partial species had NO overlap (#609). fixed. | 
|---|
| 26 | - in 'add species + NNI' local optimization quality depended on insert position. fixed. | 
|---|
| 27 | - insertion of multiple species is now done independently (=unordered; #643) | 
|---|
| 28 | - performance improved (esp. for many added species/big trees; #643) | 
|---|
| 29 | * generally improved combine performance (using SSE) | 
|---|
| 30 | * generally reduced the number of performed combines (skipping many useless) | 
|---|
| 31 | * added function to randomize (parts of) the tree | 
|---|
| 32 | * warns about insufficient sequence data (e.g. as result of too restrictive filtering; #631) | 
|---|
| 33 | * fixed 'RESTORE' (crashed after deleting species from tree; #528) | 
|---|
| 34 | * corrected handling of dots ('.') while combining ancestor sequences | 
|---|
| 35 | * fixed a bunch of internal bugs (#620, #627, #645, ...) | 
|---|
| 36 | * added species-info mode | 
|---|
| 37 | - added missing translation tables (genetic codes 24-31) | 
|---|
| 38 | - added amino acid code Xle(=J), which means Ile(=I) or Leu(=L) | 
|---|
| 39 | - DNA realigner | 
|---|
| 40 | * several unjustified failures will no longer happen (fixes #419 and most likely #145) | 
|---|
| 41 | - correctly re-syncs after 'X' (if possible at all) | 
|---|
| 42 | - no longer fails for 'B', 'J' and 'Z' | 
|---|
| 43 | - accepts 3 or more consecutive IUPAC codes in DNA |

|---|
| 45 | * fixed several minor bugs (#563,..) | 
|---|
| 46 | - ARB probeSpec: visualisation of probe set specificity (thanks to Paavo Jumppanen, CSIRO) | 
|---|
| 47 | - species selections (editor configurations): | 
|---|
| 48 | * visualisation of multiple selections in standard tree view (#658; example in database demo.arb) | 
|---|
| 49 | * order can be changed; each configuration has a comment |

|---|
| 62 | - ARB_EDIT4: | 
|---|
| 63 | * display selected database fields as flags (allowing to toggle their value; #261). |

| 64 | Example use: easily mark sequence as "curated" after manually checking its alignment. | 
|---|
| 65 | * allow to load missing SAIs | 
|---|
| 66 | * "view differences" to a reference sequence: | 
|---|
| 67 | - customizable: |

|---|
| 69 | * case-sensitivity | 
|---|

|---|
| 78 | * gaps are now ignored while deciding whether to simplify using IUPAC ambiguity codes | 
|---|
| 79 | * IUPAC ambiguity codes encountered in sequence data are now counted proportionally (=> fewer 'N's occur in consensus) | 
|---|
| 80 | - added sliders to consensus definition windows | 
|---|
| 81 | - user defined consensus settings exchangable between both consensus setups | 
|---|
| 82 | - fixed and updated documentation | 
|---|
| 83 | * added species-info mode + database save (#52,#362) | 
|---|
| 84 | * predefined SAI color translation for PVP | 
|---|
| 85 | - changes to SAI generation | 
|---|
| 86 | * MAX_FREQUENCY: | 
|---|
| 87 | - considers IUPAC ambiguity codes proportionally | 
|---|
| 88 | - amino acids: if MAX_FREQUENCY is below 10% SAI now shows '1' (prev. it did show '0', i.e. 100%) | 
|---|
| 89 | * POS_VAR_BY_PARSIMONY (PVP): | 
|---|
| 90 | - now (again) works with amino acid data (#782) | 
|---|
| 91 | - added CLI tool 'arb_calc_pvp' (#701) |

|---|
| 97 | - search multiple trees, detect duplicate and missing groups | 
|---|
| 98 | - operations on found groups (delete, rename, fold, mark) | 
|---|
| 99 | - added concept of "inverse groups" (aka "keeled groups"; #735) | 
|---|

|---|
| 101 | - penalties can be customized in detail | 
|---|
| 102 | - quality reports (to log and optionally to target name) | 
|---|
| 103 | - synchronize positions of roots of multiple trees (#449) | 
|---|
| 104 | - external (command line) aligners (#504): | 
|---|
| 105 | * fixed incorrect handling of 'T' vs 'U': now all aligned sequences will contain the correct base depending on alignment type | 
|---|
| 106 | * preserve gap-type ('-' vs '.') and upper-/lower-case of original alignment | 
|---|
| 107 | * no longer ask what to do with aligned sequence, just overwrite it | 
|---|
| 108 | - only warn about real sequence changes (so please do NOT ignore from now on!) | 
|---|
| 109 | - config-managers: |

|---|
| 118 | * diagonal branch style (#578) | 
|---|
| 119 | * parent branch position | 
|---|
| 120 | * all options are now also supported by ARB_PARSIMONY | 
|---|

|---|
| 191 | - merge to existing databases from the database loaded in ARB_NT | 
|---|
| 192 | - ARB can now |

|---|
| 219 | - faster in many cases | 
|---|
| 220 | - allow to design probes of length 8 (previously 10) | 
|---|
| 221 | - allow to design probes with different lengths (specifying min/max length) | 
|---|
| 222 | - fixed number of outgroup hits reported when decreasing temperature | 
|---|
| 223 | (now each outgroup member only occurs once) |

|---|
| 225 | - probe match (allow any number of mismatches) | 
|---|

|---|
| 227 | - can be restricted to column ranges (needs a PT-Server calculated from aligned sequences) | 
|---|

|---|
| 243 | - fixed several bugs; improved errors/warnings | 
|---|
| 244 | - consensus trees | 
|---|
| 245 | - calculate from multiple existing trees (also allows to merge not completely overlapping trees) |

| 262 | - if YOU edit a helpfile it will be automatically packed into an archive ready to be sent to ARB developers | 
|---|
| 263 | - probe design: | 
|---|
| 264 | - added LOAD to result window | 
|---|
| 265 | - automation | 
|---|
| 266 | - macro recording works in ARB client applications (ARB_EDIT4, ARB_PARS, ARB_MERGE, ..) | 
|---|
| 267 | - arb_ntree can execute macro from command line | 
|---|
| 268 | - added "Never ask again" to modal question boxes (for better compatibility with macros) | 
|---|
