+Beta release 0.1.12a (2 December, 2010)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is another bug fix release:
+
+ * Fixed a memory violation in mpileup, which causes segfault. Release
+   0.1.9 and above are affected.
+
+ * Fixed a memory violation in the indel caller, which does not causes
+   segfault, but may potentially affect deletion calls in an unexpected
+   way. Release 0.1.10 and above are affected.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in computing r-square in bcftools. Few are using this
+   functionality and it only has minor effect.
+
+ * Fixed a memory leak in bam_fetch().
+
+ * Fixed a bug in writing meta information to the BAM index for the last
+   sequence. This bug is invisible to most users, but it is a bug anyway.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in bcftools which causes false "DP4=0,0,0,0" annotations.
+
+(0.1.12: 2 December 2010, r862)

+
+
+Beta release 0.1.11 (21 November, 2010)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is mainly a bug fix release:
+
+ * Fixed a bug in random retrieval (since 0.1.8). It occurs when reads
+   are retrieved from a small region containing no reads.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in pileup (since 0.1.9). The bug causes an assertion
+   failure when the first CIGAR operation is a deletion.
+
+ * Improved fault tolerence in remote access.
+
+One minor feature has been implemented in bcftools:
+
+ * Added a reference-free variant calling mode. In this mode, a site is
+   regarded as a variat iff the sample(s) contains two or more alleles;
+   the meaning of the QUAL field in the VCF output is changed
+   accordingly. Effectively, the reference allele is irrelevant to the
+   result in the new mode, although the reference sequence has to be
+   used in realignment when SAMtools computes genotype likelihoods.
+
+In addition, since 0.1.10, the `pileup' command has been deprecated by
+`mpileup' which is more powerful and more accurate. The `pileup' command
+will not be removed in the next few releases, but new features will not
+be added.
