-- With our GenotypesContext class we can naturally create a LazyGenotypesContext subclass that does the on-demand loading.
-- This new class was replaced all of the old, complex functionality
-- Better still, there were many cases were the genotypes were being loaded unnecessarily, resulting in efficiency. This was detected because some of the integration tests changed as the genotypes were no longer being parsing unnecessarily
-- Misc. bug fixes throughout the system
-- Bug fixes for PhaseByTransmission with new GenotypesContext
-- We should no longer have md5s changing because of hashmaps changing their sort order on us
-- Added GenotypeLikelihoodsUnitTests
-- Refactored ExactAFCaclculation to put the PL -> QUAL calculation in the GenotypeLikelihoods class to avoid the code copy.
-- New approach to making VariantContexts modeled on StringBuilder
-- No more modify routines -- use VariantContextBuilder
-- Renamed isPolymorphic to isPolymorphicInSamples. Same for mono
-- getChromosomeCount -> getCalledChrCount
-- Walkers changed to use new VariantContext. Some deprecated new VariantContext calls remain
-- VCFCodec now uses optimized cached information to create GenotypesContext.
-- Major change to how chromosomeCounts is computed. Now NO_CALL alleles are always excluded. So ChromosomeCounts(A/.) is 1, the previous result would have been 2.
-- Naming changes for getSamplesNameInOrder()
-- Now these routines all iterate in sample name order (genotypes.iterateInSampleNameOrder) so that the results of UG and the annotator do not depend on the particular order of samples we see for the exact model and the RankSumTest
-- Compares performance across a bunch of common operations with GATK 1.3 version of VariantContext and GATK 1.4
-- 1.3 VC and associated utilities copied wholesale into test directory under v13
-Modified the SnpEff parser to work with the SnpEff 2.0.4 VCF output format
-Assigning functional classes and effect impacts now handled directly
by SnpEff rather than the GATK
-Removed support for SnpEff 2.0.2, as we no longer trust the output of that
version since it doesn't exclude effects associated with certain nonsensical
transcripts. These effects are excluded as of 2.0.4.
-Updated unit and integration tests
This support is based on a *release-candidate* of SnpEff 2.0.4, and so is subject
to change between now and the next GATK release.
