termal 2.1.1 – Fixes to version number mismatches in 2.1.0
termal 2.1.0 – Stability fixes, weighted conservation, and navigation improvements
This release brings important stability fixes for sequence search, a new column metric for conservation analysis, and better navigation when dealing with scattered matches.
Consensus sequences are now deterministic: when residues tie for frequency, the new computation uses IUPAC ambiguity codes (for nucleotides) or 'X' (for proteins), ensuring consistent results across runs.
Sequence search is now more robust: empty-matching patterns no longer crash, and malformed regex patterns display helpful error messages without being silently overwritten.
The new weighted conservation metric factors in sequence simil reference when computing column conservation, providing a more nuanced view of alignment variation.
Highlights:
- Consensus computation is now deterministic (IUPAC codes for tied residues)
- Sequence search handles edge cases gracefully (empty matches, malformed patterns)
- Weighted conservation: new column metric (conservation weighted by coverage)
- Vertical match jumps (N/P): navigate matches without changing horizontal view
- Conserved region jumps documented and configurable (with
:set ...)
No breaking changes.
