This release fixed a bug in the splice mode and added a few minor features:

  • Fixed a bug that occasionally takes an intron as a long deletion in the
    splice mode. This was caused by wrong backtracking at the last CIGAR
    operator. The current fix eliminates the error, but it is not optimal in
    that it often produces a wrong junction when the last operator is an intron.
    A future version of minimap2 may improve upon this.

  • Support high-end ARM CPUs that implement the NEON instruction set (#81).
    This enables minimap2 to work on Raspberry Pi 3 and Odroid XU4.

  • Added a C API to construct a minimizer index from a set of C strings (#80).

  • Check scoring specified on the command line (#79). Due to the 8-bit limit,
    excessively large score penalties fail minimap2.

For genomic sequences, minimap2 should give identical alignments to v2.6.
