+Beta release 0.1.14 (16 March, 2011)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This release implements a method for testing associations for case-control
+data. The method does not call genotypes but instead sums over all genotype
+configurations to compute a chi^2 based test statistics. It can be potentially
+applied to comparing a pair of samples (e.g. a tumor-normal pair), but this
+has not been evaluated on real data.
+
+Another new feature is to make X chromosome variant calls when female and male
+samples are both present. The user needs to provide a file indicating the
+ploidy of each sample.
+
+Other new features:
+
+ * Added `samtools mpileup -L' to skip INDEL calling in regions with
+ excessively high coverage. Such regions dramatically slow down mpileup.
+
+ * Added `bcftools view -F' to parse BCF files generated by samtools r921 or
+ older which encode PL in a different way.

+
+
+Beta release 0.1.13 (1 March, 2011)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The most important though largely invisible modification is the change of the
+order of genotypes in the PL VCF/BCF tag. This is to conform the upcoming VCF
+spec v4.1. The change means that 0.1.13 is not backward compatible with VCF/BCF
+generated by samtools older than r921 inclusive. VCF/BCF generated by the new
+samtools will contain a line `##fileformat=VCFv4.1' as well as the samtools
+version number.
+
+Single Individual Haplotyping (SIH) is added as an experimental feature. It
+originally aims to produce haploid consensus from fosmid pool sequencing, but
+also works with short-read data. For short reads, phased blocks are usually too
+short to be useful in many applications, but they can help to rule out part of
+SNPs close to INDELs or between copies of CNVs.
+
+
+Other notable changes in samtools:
+
+ * Construct per-sample consensus to reduce the effect of nearby SNPs in INDEL
+ calling. This reduces the power but improves specificity.
+
+ * Improved sorting order checking in indexing. Now indexing is the preferred way
+ to check if a BAM is sorted.
+
+ * Added a switch `-E' to mpileup and calmd. This option uses an alternative way
+ to apply BAQ, which increases sensistivity, especially to MNPs, at the cost of
+ a little loss in specificity.
+
+ * Added `mpileup -A' to allow to use reads in anomalous pairs in SNP calling.
+
+ * Added `mpileup -m' to allow fine control of the collection of INDEL candidates.
+
+ * Added `mpileup -S' to compute per-sample strand bias P-value.
+
+ * Added `mpileup -G' to exclude read groups in variant calling.
+
+ * Fixed segfault in indel calling related to unmapped and refskip reads.
+
+ * Fixed an integer overflow in INDEL calling. This bug produces wrong INDEL
+ genotypes for longer short INDELs, typically over 10bp.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in tview on big-endian machines.
+
+ * Fixed a very rare memory issue in bam_md.c
+
+ * Fixed an out-of-boundary bug in mpileup when the read base is `N'.
+
+ * Fixed a compiling error when the knetfile library is not used. Fixed a
+ library compiling error due to the lack of bam_nt16_nt4_table[] table.
+ Suppress a compiling warning related to the latest zlib.
+
+
+Other notable changes in bcftools:
+
+ * Updated the BCF spec.
+
+ * Added the `FQ' VCF INFO field, which gives the phred-scaled probability
+ of all samples being the same (identical to the reference or all homozygous
+ variants). Option `view -f' has been dropped.
+
+ * Implementated of "vcfutils.pl vcf2fq" to generate a consensus sequence
+ similar to "samtools.pl pileup2fq".
+
+ * Make sure the GT FORMAT field is always the first FORMAT to conform the VCF
+ spec. Drop bcf-fix.pl.
+
+ * Output bcftools specific INFO and FORMAT in the VCF header.
+
+ * Added `view -s' to call variants from a subset of samples.
+
+ * Properly convert VCF to BCF with a user provided sequence dictionary. Nonetheless,
+ custom fields are still unparsed and will be stored as a missing value.
+
+ * Fixed a minor bug in Fisher's exact test; the results are rarely changed.
+
+
+(0.1.13: 1 March 2011, r926:134)
+
+
+
+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.
