v0.8.4

Date: 2019-04-04

Enhancements

  • When creating coolers from unordered input, change the default temporary dir to be the same as the output file instead of the system tmp (pass ‘-’ to use the system one). #150

  • rename_chroms() will refresh cached chromosome names #147

  • Cooler.bins() selector will always properly convert bins/chrom integer IDs to categorical chromosome names when the number of contigs is very large and therefore the HDF5 ENUM header is missing. Before this would only happen when explicitly requesting convert_enum=True.

New options for cooler dump pixel output:

  • -one-based-ids and --one-based-starts convenience options.

Bug fixes

  • cooler zoomify command can take additional base resolutions as input.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed regression that slowed down pre-processing during coarsen.

  • Restore but deprecate cooler.io.ls for backwards compatibility.

v0.8.0

Date: 2018-12-31

This is a major release from 0.7 and includes an updated format version, and several API changes and deprecations.

Schema

  • New schema version: v3

  • Adds required storage-mode metadata attribute. Two possible values: "symmetric-upper" indicates a symmetric matrix encoded as upper triangle (previously the only storage mode); "square" indicates no special encoding (e.g. for non-symmetric matrices).

New features

  • Support for non-symmetric matrices, e.g. RNA-DNA maps.

    • Create function accepts a boolean symmetric_upper option to set the storage mode. Default is True.

    • Creation commands also use symmetric_upper by default, which can be overridden with a flag.

  • All main functionality exposed through top-level functions (create, merge, coarsen, zoomify, balance)

  • New commands for generic file operations and file inspection.

API changes

  • cooler.annotate() option replace now defaults to False.

  • Submodule renaming. Old names are preserved as aliases but are deprecated.

    • cooler.io -> cooler.create.

    • cooler.ice -> cooler.balance.

  • New top level public functions:

    • cooler.create_cooler(). Use instead of cooler.io.create and cooler.io.create_from_unordered.

    • cooler.merge_coolers()

    • cooler.coarsen_cooler()

    • cooler.zoomify_cooler()

    • cooler.balance_cooler(). Alias: cooler.balance.iterative_correction().

  • Refactored file operations available in cooler.fileops. See the API reference.

CLI changes

  • Various output options added to cooler info, cooler dump, cooler makebins and cooler digest.

  • Generic data and attribute hierarchy viewers cooler tree and cooler attrs.

  • Generic cp, mv and ln convenience commands.

  • New verbosity and process info options.

Maintenance

  • Documentation updates

Bug fixes

  • Fix newline handling for csort when p1 or p2 is last column.

  • Fix --count-as-float regression in load/cload.

v0.7.10

Date: 2018-05-07

  • Add ignore distance (bp) filter to cooler balance

  • Start using shuffle filter by default

v0.7.9

Date: 2018-03-30

  • Indexed pairs loading commands now provide option for 0- or 1-based positions (1-based by default). #115

v0.7.8

Date: 2018-03-18

Enhancements

Bug fixes

  • Fixed broken use of single-file temporary store in create_from_unordered.

  • Added heuristic in pairix cload to prevent excessively large chunks. #92

  • Added extra checks in cload pairix and cload tabix. #62, #75

v0.7.7

Date: 2018-03-16

Enhancements

  • Implementation of unsorted (index-free) loading

    • cooler.io.create_from_unsorted takes an iterable of pixel dataframe chunks that need not be properly sorted.

    • Use input sanitization procedures for pairs sanitize_records and binned data sanitize_pixels to feed data to create_from_unsorted. #87 #108 #109

    • The cooler load command is now index-free: unsorted COO and BG2 input data can be streamed in. #90. This will soon be implemented as an option for loading pairs as well.

  • Prevent cooler balance command from exiting with non-zero status upon failed convergence using convergence error policies. #93

  • Improve the create API to support pandas read_csv-style columns and dtype kwargs to add extra value columns or override default dtypes. #108

  • Experimental implementation of trans-only balancing. #56

Bug fixes

  • Fix argmax deprecation. #99

v0.7.6

Date: 2017-10-31

Enhancements

  • Cooler zoomify with explicit resolutions

  • Towards standardization of multicooler structure

  • Support for loading 1-based COO triplet input files

Bug fixes

  • Fixed issue of exceeding header limit with too many scaffolds. If header size is exceeded, chrom IDs are stored as raw integers instead of HDF5 enums. There should be no effect at the API level.

  • Fixed issue of single-column chromosomes files not working in cload.

  • Fixed edge case in performing joins when using both as_pixels and join options in the matrix selector.

Happy Halloween!
