Recent Package Updates
2020-12-01: gshhg-2.3.7-1 (Global dataset of shorelines, rivers, borders)
This package provides five different resolution versions of the GSHHG
(Global Self-consistent Hierarchical High-resolution Geography)
data base: course, low, intermediate, high, and full resolution.
GSHHG combines the World Vector Shoreline and World Data Base II
products into a single quality-checked hierarchical data base at
5 resolutions.
These tiled GSHHG files in netCDF4 format are intended for use by
the Genetic Mapping Tools (GMT).

update homepage2020-12-01: libapr.0-shlibs-1.7.0-1 (Apache Portable Runtime shared libraries)
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and
maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent
interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal
is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured
of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on
which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code
special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of
platform-specific deficiencies or features.

macOS10.14 and Xcode12 fixes2020-11-29: qca2-x11-2.2.1-3 (Cross-platform Crypto API)
Taking a hint from the similarly-named Java Cryptography Architecture,
QCA aims to provide a straightforward and cross-platform crypto API,
using Qt datatypes and conventions. QCA separates the API from the
implementation, using plugins known as Providers. The advantage of
this model is to allow applications to avoid linking to or explicitly
depending on any particular cryptographic library. This allows one
to easily change or upgrade crypto implementations without even
needing to recompile the application!

Mtools is a collection of programs to allow unix systems to read, write,
and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem. Each program attempts to
emulate the MSDOS eqivalent command as closely as practical.

mtools 4.0.262020-11-27: libhts2-shlibs-1.9-2 (Library for high-throughput sequencing data)
HTSlib is an implementation of a unified C library for accessing common
file formats, such as SAM, CRAM, VCF, and BCF, used for high-throughput
sequencing data. It is the core library used by samtools and bcftools.

libhts: 1.11 release
new libN=32020-11-27: bcftools-1.11-1 (Tools for VCF/BCF files)
BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the
Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands
work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and
BGZF-compressed.
Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF and BCF with filetype detected
automatically even when streaming from a pipe. Indexed VCF and BCF will
work in all situations. Un-indexed VCF and BCF and streams will work in
most, but not all situations. In general, whenever multiple VCFs are
read simultaneously, they must be indexed and therefore also compressed.
BCFtools is designed to work on a stream. It regards an input file "-"
as the standard input (stdin) and outputs to the standard output
(stdout). Several commands can thus be combined with Unix pipes.

bcftools: 1.112020-11-27: samtools-1.11-1 (Tools for SAM alignment files)
SAM Tools provide various utilities for manipulating alignments in
the SAM format, including sorting, merging, indexing and generating
alignments in a per-position format.

samtools 1.112020-11-27: cufflinks-2.2.1-5 (RNA-Seq assembler and expression tester)
Cufflinks assembles transcripts, estimates their abundances, and tests for
differential expression and regulation in RNA-Seq samples. It accepts
aligned RNA-Seq reads and assembles the alignments into a parsimonious set
of transcripts. Cufflinks then estimates the relative abundances of these
transcripts based on how many reads support each one, taking into account
biases in library preparation protocols.

DelimMatch allows you to match delimited substrings in a buffer.
The delimiters can be specified with any regular expression and
the start and end delimiters need not be the same. If the
delimited text is properly nested, entire nested groups are
returned.
In addition, you may specify quoting and escaping characters that
contribute to the recognition of start and end delimiters.
