New functionality

Sparse graph labeling @camillescott ( sweep-reads-by-partition-buffered.py )
Initial support for Galaxy integration (for normalize-by-median and abund-filter) @mr-c
Normalization of arguments across the scripts @camillescott

Note: The default branch on GitHub is now the 'master' branch. Our unmaintained tutorials that install khmer with a plain git clone have a warning added to them and potential user are directed to the khmer-protocols: http://khmer-protocols.readthedocs.org

Notable bugs fixed

load-graph gives erroneous memory estimate #279 @camillescott
If loadhash is specified, do not complain about hashsize #278 @RamRS @humberto-ortiz
test_Hashbits case sensitivity #265 @luizirber
Installation fails: cannot find argparse >= 1.2.1 #258 @mr-c & @standage
Bugs found by coverity #256 @camillescott

Minor updates

abundance-dist-single.py, abundance-dist.py, do-partition.py, interleave-reads.py, load-graph.py, load-into-counting.py normalize-by-median.py now exit with return code 1 instead of 255 as is standard.
Program arguments that have default values are disclosed @mr-c
Developer documentation updates: contribution guidelines, coding standards, code review hints (with checklist). Release instruction completely rewritten.
Installation instructions tweaks including specific commands for Debian derivatives and RHEL6.
Update to the latest versioneer.py & ez_setup.py
The latest version of setuptools is no longer required: version 0.6c11 appears to be just fine.
Many code cleanups. Python namespace usage was tidied. Type safety was strengthened in the C++/Python integration.
Testing coverage measures the scripts properly.

Known Issues

All of these are pre-existing.

Some users have reported that normalize-by-median.py will utilize more memory than it was configured for. This is being investigated in #266

Some FASTQ files confuse our parser when running with more than one thread. For example, while using load-into-counting.py. If you experience this then add "--threads=1" to your command line. This issue is being tracked in #249

If your hashfile gets truncated, perhaps from a full filesystem, then our tools currently will get stuck. This is being tracked in #247

Paired-end reads from Casava 1.8 currently require renaming for use in normalize-by-median and abund-filter when used in paired mode. The integration of a fix for this is being tracked in #23

A user has reported a floating point exception when running count-overlap.py. There is no workaround at this time. #282

Special thanks to the new contributors!

version 0.7.1

• New script: sample-reads-randomly.py which does a single pass random
  subsample using reservoir sampling.
• the version number is now only stored in one place
• Makefile: new dist, cppcheck, pep8, and autopep8 targets for developers.
  VERSION is now set by versioneer and exported to C/C++ code.
• README switched from MarkDown to ReStructuredText format to clean up PyPI
  listing. Install count badge added.
• doc/: updates to how the scripts are called. Sphinx now pulls version
  number from versioneer. C/Python integration is now partially documented.
  Reference to bleeding-edge has been removed. Release instructions have been
  clarified and simplified.
• all python code in khmer/, scripts/, and tests/ should be PEP8 compliant now.
• khmer/_khmermodule.cc has gotten a once-over with cpychecker. Type errors
  were eliminated and the error checking has improved.
• Several fixes motivated by the results of a Coverity C/C++ scan.
• Tests that require greater than 0.5 gigabytes of memory are now annotated as
  being 'highmem' and be skipped by changing two lines in setup.cfg
• warnings about -Wstrict-prototypes will no longer appear
• contributors to this release are: @ctb, @mr-c and @cswelcher.

v0.6.1

• Switch to setuptools to run the entire build
• The various Makefiles have been merged into one inside lib for posterity

• argparse.py has been removed and is installed automatically by setuptools/pip
• setup.py and the python/khmer directory have been moved to the root of the
  project to conform to the standard layout
• The project contact address is now [email protected]
• Due to the new build system the project now easily builds under OS X + XCode
• In light of the above the installation instructions have been rewritten
• Sphinx now builds the documentation without warnings or errors
