Changes in version 1.20.3                        

  - GENCODE 44 (H.s.), M34 (M.m), and Ensembl 111
  - RefSeq p13 for human, p6 for mouse

                       Changes in version 1.20.0                        

  - Add argument to summarizeToGene(): assignRanges that takes either
    "range" (default) or "abundant", and determines the ranges that are
    attached to the SE (rowRanges). Note that this new argument does not
    affect the data aggregation at all (counts and abundance are
    summarized to gene by tximport). The default behavior of
    summarizeToGene() returns ranges that correspond to the range of the
    isoforms of the gene, that is the leftmost basepair to the rightmost
    basepair of any isoform. The non-default "abundant" instead returns
    the range of the most abundant isoform in the data, averaging over
    samples. Information about the choice of range is included in mcols
  - Added support for piscem-infer: type="piscem" also auto-detected
    from file ending.

                       Changes in version 1.19.8                        

  - Added support for piscem-infer: type="piscem" also auto-detected
    from file ending.

                       Changes in version 1.19.6                        

  - Fixed genome build for mouse M26 and higher to GRCm39, thanks to
    Charlotte Soneson.

                       Changes in version 1.14.0                        

  - Allow GTF specification in linkedTxome to be a serialized GRanges
    file (a file path to a .rda or .RData file). This bypasses some
    apparent issue where makeTxDbFromGFF fails while makeTxDbFromGRanges
    works.
  - Up to GENCODE 40 (H.s.), M29 (M.m), and Ensembl 106

                       Changes in version 1.10.0                        

  - Added more tximeta() messaging about specifying the 'source' in
    linkedTxome. Essentially, this triggers GTF processing behavior that
    users may want to avoid, and so specifying a string other than
    "Ensembl" may be preferred. Also added note to vignette.
  - Added note to vignette about alevin import with tximeta where the
    'tgMap' step requires gene IDs and not gene symbols.
  - Added hashes for: GENCODE 38 (H.s.), M27 (M.m), and Ensembl 104;
    GENCODE 37 (H.s.), M26 (M.m), and Ensembl 103; GENCODE 36 and
    Ensembl 102.
  - Fixed a bug around AnnotationHub pulldown when using RefSeq as the
    source.
  - Fixed a bug where multiple parsed Ensembl GTF TxDb would be added to
    the BiocFileCache with the same rname.

                        Changes in version 1.8.0                        

  - Added 'fromDb' argument to addIds() to allow IDs to be added from
    the associated TxDb/EnsDb instead of the org package (which is used
    by default). Feature suggestion from Kristoffer Vitting-Seerup.
  - Added function retrieveCDNA() that will download or load a cached
    version of the transcript sequences used for quantification. Note
    that the returned sequences are not ordered or matched to the rows
    of the SummarizedExperiment object. Feature suggestion from
    Kristoffer Vitting-Seerup.
  - Added function addCDS() that will add CDS ranges for coding
    transcripts (and fills in original ranges for non-coding), as well
    as a 'coding' column as a logical indicator. Feature suggestion from
    Kristoffer Vitting-Seerup.
  - Added option that environmental variable TXIMETA_HUB_CACHE can be
    used to set tximeta's cache location, to avoid prompting the user on
    the first run of tximeta().
  - tximeta() will now pull GENCODE TxDb from AnnotationHub when it is
    listed there (only Homo sapiens are at this point in time). Thanks
    to Leonardo Collado-Torres for the suggestion!
  - Now summarizeToGene() will add a column tx_ids, which is a
    CharacterList of the transcript IDs.

                        Changes in version 1.6.0                        

  - Added PLOS Computational Biology citation! :-)
  - Added function splitSE to split one assay of a SummarizedExperiment
    into multiple assays, each containing features of a given type.
  - Added a wrapper function makeDGEList() to simplify making a DGEList
    for use with edgeR. See vignette for example.
  - tximeta will now make use of EnsDb created and distributed on
    AnnotationHub, unless useHub=FALSE. Also, a new function
    retrieveDb() can be called on a SummarizedExperiment to retrieve the
    underlying TxDb or EnsDb.
  - tximeta can now use customMetaInfo argument to locate a custom
    metadata information file such as meta_info.json, which should
    contain a tage, index_seq_hash, with the SHA-256 hash value of the
    reference transcripts.
  - Added markDuplicateTxps argument to add hasDuplicate and duplicates
    columns to rowData of SummarizedExperiment. One note is that, for
    efficiency, this argument and cleanDuplicateTxps will now share a
    duplicates CharacterList that is stored in the BiocFileCache, with
    the name dups-.... Therefore, if you have previously used
    cleanDuplicateTxps, you may need to bfcremove() any dups-...
    entries. Summarization to gene level will keep track of numDupSets
    per gene which informs about the number of transcripts sets
    (equivalence classes by transcript sequence content).
  - If during the indexing step, user didn't use --gencode for a Gencode
    transcriptome file, tximeta will deal with this internally now by
    stripping all characters after the vertical bar |, in order to match
    long transcript names in the quant.sf files to the correct
    transcript names in the GTF.

                        Changes in version 1.4.0                        

  - tximeta will now pull down RefSeq seqinfo, using the dirname() of
    the GTF location, and assuming some consistency in the structure of
    the assembly_report.txt that is located in the same directory. Needs
    more testing though across releases and organisms.
  - expanded caching of ranges to exons and genes as well. Exons in
    particular take a long time to build from TxDb, so this saves quite
    a lot of time.
  - new 'addExons' function will add exons to trancript-level summarized
    experiments, by replacing transcript GRanges with exon-by-transcript
    GRangesList. Purposely designed only for transcript-level, see note
    in ?addExons
  - tximeta now also caches the transcript ranges themselves, rather
    than just the TxDb. This shaves extra seconds off the tximeta()
    call!
  - add 'skipSeqinfo' argument, which avoids attempting to fetch
    chromosome information (from UCSC) if set to TRUE.

                        Changes in version 1.2.0                        

  - Specifying gene=TRUE in addIds() when rows are transcripts will
    attempt to use a gene_id column to map the IDs. This usually gives a
    better mapping rate.
  - Cut off version number from Ensembl names only (not GENCODE)
  - Added 'cleanDuplicateTxps' argument, which does a lot of work for
    the user: it downloads the FASTA from the source, identifies
    duplicate transcripts (identical cDNA sequence) then looks to see if
    transcripts that are in the quantification files, but missing from
    the GTF, could be renamed from the list of duplicate transcripts
    such that they would be present in the GTF.
  - Added coding * non-coding combinations of Ensembl transcriptomes to
    the hash table. Must be in this order: coding, then non-coding.
  - Added support for dammit de novo transcriptomes.
  - Added summarizeToGene as a method, to avoid conflicts with tximport.
  - Added in Charlotte's code to split out GENCODE and Ensembl code for
    generating transcript ranges.
