Patches probived by Rob Davies. + + * Updated README. + + * Bugfix: return code is zero upon errors. + +Changes in BWA-MEM: + + * Changed the way a chimeric alignment is reported (conforming to the upcoming + SAM spec v1.5). With 0.7.5, if the read has a chimeric alignment, the paired + or the top hit uses soft clipping and is marked with neither 0x800 nor 0x100 + bits. All the other hits part of the chimeric alignment will use hard + clipping and be marked with 0x800 if option "-M" is not in use, or marked + with 0x100 otherwise. + + * Other hits part of a chimeric alignment are now reported in the SA tag, + conforming to the SAM spec v1.5. + + * Better method for resolving an alignment bridging two or more short + reference sequences. The current strategy maps the query to the reference + sequence that covers the middle point of the alignment. For most + applications, this change has no effects. + +Changes in BWA-backtrack: + + * Added a magic number to .sai files. This prevents samse/sampe from reading + corrupted (e.g. a .sai file containing LSF log) or incompatible .sai + generated by a different version of bwa. + + * Bugfix: alignments in the XA:Z: tag were wrong. + + * Keep track of #ins and #del during backtracking.
