Release Notes
=============

Version 1.4.1: August 27, 2022
------------------------------

Significant internal refactoring to improve schema generalizability,
harmonize behavior between the python and R libraries, and prepare for
AIRR Standards v2.0.

Rearrangement:

-  Added the ``aux_types`` argument to ``read_tabular``,
   ``read_rearrangement``, and ``read_alignment`` to allow explicit
   declaration of the type for fields that are not defined in the
   schema.
-  Renamed ``read_airr``, ``write_airr``, and ``validate_airr`` to
   ``read_tabular``, ``validate_tabular``, and ``validate_tabular``,
   respectively.

Data Model and Schema:

-  Defined new ``read_airr``, ``write_airr``, and ``validate_airr``
   functions that support AIRR Data Model files that store arrays of
   objects in JSON or YAML.
-  Added support for the AIRR Model Data File and associated schema
   (DataFile, Info). The Data File data format holds AIRR object of
   multiple types and is backwards compatible with Repertoire metadata.
-  Added support for the new germline and genotyping schema
   (GermlineSet, GenotypeSet) and associated schema.

Version 1.3.0: May 26, 2020
---------------------------

-  Updated schema set to v1.3.
-  Added ``info`` slot to ``Schema`` object containing general schema
   information.

Version 1.2.0: August 17, 2018
------------------------------

-  Updated schema set to v1.2.
-  Changed defaults to ``base="1"`` for read and write functions.
-  Updated example TSV file with coordinate changes, addition of
   ``germline_alignment`` data and simplification of ``sequence_id``
   values.
