    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improve logging: Detailed debugging logs collect all process standard out and error and command lines across distributed systems.
    • Piping improvements: provide fully piped analysis with GATK recalibration and gkno realignment. Handle smaller reads with novoalign piped analysis.
    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improve collapsing analysis regions into evenly sized blocks to better handle large numbers of samples analyzed together.
    • Provide template functionality to ease generation of input sample.yaml files from lists of BAM of fastq files. Thanks to Brent Pedersen and Paul Tang.
    • โšก๏ธ Updated program support: Improved novoalign support based on evaluation with reference genomes. Support GATK 2.5-2. Support VarScan 2.3.5.

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improve quality control metrics: Cleanup into custom qc directory and ensure correct selection of duplicate and other metrics for split post-alignment prep, even without merging.
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix IPython parallel usage for larger clusters, providing improved resiliency for long running jobs.
