pysam-0.8.4
This release contains numerous bugfixes and a first implementation of
a pythonic interface to VCF/BCF files thanks to Kevin Jacobs.
Potential isses when upgrading from v0.8.3:
- binary tags are now returned as python arrays
- renamed several methods for pep8 compatibility, old names still retained for
backwards compatibility, but should be considered deprecated.- gettid() is now get_tid()
- getrname() is now get_reference_name()
- parseRegion() is now parse_region()
- faidx now returns strings and not binary strings in py3.
- The cython components have been broken up into smaller files with
more specific content. This will affect users using the cython
interfaces.
