-- The GATK VCFWriter now enforces by default that all INFO, FILTER, and FORMAT fields be properly defined in the header. This helps avoid some of the low-level errors I saw in SelectVariants. This behavior can be disable in the engine with the --allowMissingVCFHeaders argument
-- Fixed broken annotations in TandemRepeat, which were overwriting AD instead of defining RPA
-- Optimizations to VariantEval, removing some obvious low-hanging fruit all in the subsetting of variants by sample
-- SelectVariants header fixes -- Was defining DP for the info field as a FORMAT field, as for AC, AF, and AN original
-- Performance optimizations in BCF2 codec and writer
-- using arrays not lists for intermediate data structures
-- Create once and reuse an array of GenotypeBuilders for the codec, avoiding reallocating this data structure over and over
-- VCFHeader (which needs a complete rewrite, FYI Eric)
-- Warn and fix on the way flag values with counts > 0
-- GenotypeSampleNames are now stored as a List as they are ordered, and the set iteration was slow. Duplicates are detected once at header creation.
-- Explicitly track FILTER fields for efficient lookup in their own hashmap
-- Automatically add PL field when we see a GL field and no PL field
-- Added get and has methods for INFO, FILTER, and FORMAT fields
-- No longer add AC and AF values to the INFO field when there's no ALT allele
-- Memory efficient comparison of VCF and BCF files for shadow BCF testing. Now there's no (memory) constraint on the size of the files we can compare
-- Because of VCF's limited floating point resolution we can only use 1 sig digit for comparing doubles between BCF and VCF
