  • [2.2.0] - 12-30-2013
  • [2.2.1] - 03-20-2014
  • Internals
    • New model representation framework
  • Models
    • site-dependent codon models: M1a, M2a, M2a_Test.
    • branch and site-dependent codon models: branch-site.
    • frequency models: +F, +gwF, F1x4, F3x4, MG94, MG94w9, F61.
  • Output
    • Inference of ancestral sequences at internal nodes (optional).
    • Trees are written with names for internal nodes.
    • Allow computing Rao-Blackwellized expectations for some variables.
  • Input
    • Substitution models may now take multiple arguments: branch-site[2,HKY,F3x4].
  • Speed
    • Lazily calculate eigensystems for substitution rate matrices.
    • [0-100% slower] Rewrite model framework.
  • Summarization tools
    • alignment-cat: improved ability to select, reorder, strip gaps, and reverse the input sequences.
    • trees-consensus: allow reading trees with node and branch attributes
    • trees-consensus: allow reading trees with internal node names
    • [2.2.1] Make post-processing accept line endings in Linux/Mac/Windows format.
  • Build
    • Stop depending on the GSL library.
    • Switch to C++11.
  • Changes
    • 'lambda' renamed to logLambda.
    • 'epsilon' replaced with meanIndelLengthMinusOne.
