|---|
| 8 | * topology optimization |
|---|
| 9 | - now (by default) strictly restricted to marked/visible parts of the tree (#640) |
|---|
| 10 | - restriction now customizable (marked/all; visible/all) |
|---|
| 11 | - tree costs for protein-data were not independent from root-position (as expected by model; #633). |
|---|
| 12 | Caused infinite running optimization under some circumstances. |
|---|
| 13 | - optimize-modes now strictly restrict to clicked subtrees. single/repeated optimization possible. |
|---|

|---|
| 21 | * adding species |
|---|
| 22 | - 'add partial species' failed if two partial species had NO overlap (#609). fixed. |
|---|

|---|
| 24 | - insertion of multiple species is now done independently (=unordered; #643) |
|---|
| 25 | - performance improved (esp. for many added species/big trees; #643) |
|---|
| 26 | * generally improved combine performance (using SSE) |
|---|
| 27 | * generally reduced the number of performed combines (skipping many useless) |
|---|
| 28 | * added function to randomize (parts of) the tree |
|---|
| 29 | * warns about insufficient sequence data (e.g. as result of too restrictive filtering; #631) |
|---|

|---|
| 31 | * corrected handling of dots ('.') while combining ancestor sequences |
|---|
| 32 | * fixed a bunch of internal bugs (#620, #627, #645, ...) |
|---|
| 33 | * added species-info mode |
|---|
| 34 | - added missing translation tables (genetic codes 24-31) |
|---|
| 35 | - added amino acid code Xle(=J), which means Ile(=I) or Leu(=L) |
|---|
| 36 | - DNA realigner |
|---|

|---|
| 41 | * added option to cut-off DNA sequence (was done at end of sequence by old version. fixed) |
|---|
| 42 | * fixed several minor bugs (#563,..) |
|---|
| 43 | - ARB probeSpec: visualisation of probe set specificity (thanks to Paavo Jumppanen, CSIRO) |
|---|
| 44 | - species selections (editor configurations): |
|---|
| 45 | * visualisation of multiple selections in standard tree view (#658; example in database demo.arb) |
|---|
| 46 | * order can be changed; each configuration has a comment |
|---|
| 47 | - import/export (species,sequence): |
|---|
| 48 | * manage/edit/test import-/export-filter-definitions from inside ARB (#691) |
|---|

|---|
| 58 | - support for extra database compression (using gzip, bzip2, xz; #665); databases cannot be opened by versions before arb-7.0 |
|---|
| 59 | - ARB_EDIT4: |
|---|
| 60 | * display selected database fields as flags (allowing to toggle their value; #261). |
|---|
| 61 | Example use: easily mark sequence as "curated" after manually checking its alignment. |
|---|
| 62 | * allow to load missing SAIs |
|---|
| 63 | * "view differences" to a reference sequence: |
|---|
| 64 | - customizable: |

|---|
| 66 | * case-sensitivity |
|---|
| 67 | * ignore different gap-types |
|---|
| 68 | - equal data also gets hidden in consensus |
|---|
| 69 | - refresh differences of all displayed sequences, when data of selected sequences changes |

|---|
| 72 | - fixed minor bugs |
|---|
| 73 | * consensus calculation in ARB_EDIT4 and calculation of CONSENSUS SAI |

|---|
| 75 | * gaps are now ignored while deciding whether to simplify using IUPAC ambiguity codes |
|---|
| 76 | * IUPAC ambiguity codes encountered in sequence data are now counted proportionally (=> fewer 'N's occur in consensus) |
|---|
| 77 | - added sliders to consensus definition windows |
|---|
| 78 | - user defined consensus settings exchangable between both consensus setups |
|---|
| 79 | - fixed and updated documentation |

| 82 | - changes to SAI generation |
|---|
| 83 | * MAX_FREQUENCY: |
|---|

|---|
| 85 | - amino acids: if MAX_FREQUENCY is below 10% SAI now shows '1' (prev. it did show '0', i.e. 100%) |
|---|
| 86 | * POS_VAR_BY_PARSIMONY (PVP): |
|---|

|---|
| 88 | - added CLI tool 'arb_calc_pvp' (#701) |
|---|
| 89 | * implemented a SAI calculator (allows to modify or combine multiple SAIs) |
|---|
| 90 | - expand zombies in tree (unfold groups; #22) |
|---|
| 91 | - compare taxonomy (and mark differences; #651) |
|---|
| 92 | - search&query for taxonomic groups (#652) |
|---|
| 93 | - many search criteria (name, size, marked, nesting-level, ingroup-distance (#653), ...) |
|---|
| 94 | - search multiple trees, detect duplicate and missing groups |
|---|
| 95 | - operations on found groups (delete, rename, fold, mark) |
|---|
| 96 | - added concept of "inverse groups" (aka "keeled groups"; #735) |
|---|
| 97 | - group transfer between trees (#780): |
|---|
| 98 | - penalties can be customized in detail |
|---|
| 99 | - quality reports (to log and optionally to target name) |
|---|
| 100 | - synchronize positions of roots of multiple trees (#449) |
|---|
| 101 | - external (command line) aligners (#504): |
|---|
| 102 | * fixed incorrect handling of 'T' vs 'U': now all aligned sequences will contain the correct base depending on alignment type |
|---|
| 103 | * preserve gap-type ('-' vs '.') and upper-/lower-case of original alignment |
|---|
| 104 | * no longer ask what to do with aligned sequence, just overwrite it |
|---|
| 105 | - only warn about real sequence changes (so please do NOT ignore from now on!) |
|---|
| 106 | - config-managers: |
|---|
| 107 | * possibility to restore factory defaults |
|---|
| 108 | * added comment field for configurations |

|---|
| 115 | * diagonal branch style (#578) |
|---|
| 116 | * parent branch position |
|---|
| 117 | * all options are now also supported by ARB_PARSIMONY |

|---|
| 187 | - merge from an existing database into the database loaded in ARB_NT |
|---|
| 188 | - merge to existing databases from the database loaded in ARB_NT |
|---|
| 189 | - ARB can now |

|---|
| 220 | (now each outgroup member only occurs once) |

|---|
| 222 | - probe match (allow any number of mismatches) |

|---|
| 241 | - consensus trees |
|---|
| 242 | - calculate from multiple existing trees (also allows to merge not completely overlapping trees) |
|---|
| 243 | - fixed NJ-bootstrapping (no longer drops species) |
|---|
| 244 | - tree display |
|---|
| 245 | - Show brackets on open groups (dendrogram tree only) |

| 261 | - added LOAD to result window |
|---|
| 262 | - automation |
|---|
| 263 | - macro recording works in ARB client applications (ARB_EDIT4, ARB_PARS, ARB_MERGE, ..) |
|---|
| 264 | - arb_ntree can execute macro from command line |
|---|
| 265 | - added "Never ask again" to modal question boxes (for better compatibility with macros) |
|---|
| 266 | - a macro can be called for all marked species (once for each) |
|---|
