Looks like we haven’t posted since 0.2.6! ## 0.2.10 Released 2019-02-15 ### New features - ([#5272](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5272)) Added a new ‘delimiter’ option to Table.export. - ([#5251](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5251)) Add utility aliases to `hl.plot` for `output_notebook` and `show`. - ([#5249](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5249)) Add `histogram2d` function to `hl.plot` module. - ([#5247](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5247)) Expose `MatrixTable.localize_entries` method for converting to a Table with an entries array. - ([#5300](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5300)) Add new `filter` and `find_replace` arguments to `hl.import_table` and `hl.import_vcf` to apply regex and substitutions to text input. ### Performance improvements - ([#5298](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5298)) Reduce size of exported VCF files by exporting missing genotypes without trailing fields. ### Bug fixes - ([#5306](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5306)) Fix `ReferenceGenome.add_sequence` causing a crash. - ([#5268](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5268)) Fix `Table.export` writing a file called ‘None’ in the current directory. - ([#5265](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5265)) Fix `hl.get_reference` raising an exception when called before `hl.init()`. - ([#5250](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5250)) Fix crash in `pc_relate` when called on a MatrixTable field other than ‘GT’. - ([#5278](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5278)) Fix crash in `Table.order_by` when sorting by fields whose names are not valid Python identifiers. - ([#5294](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5294)) Fix crash in `hl.trio_matrix` when sample IDs are missing. - ([#5295](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5295)) Fix crash in `Table.index` related to key field incompatibilities. * * * ## 0.2.9 Released 2019-01-30 ### New features - ([#5149](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5149)) Added bitwise transformation functions: `hl.bit_{and, or, xor, not, lshift, rshift}`. - ([#5154](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5154)) Added `hl.rbind` function, which is similar to `hl.bind` but expects a function as the last argument instead of the first. ### Performance improvements - ([#5107](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5107)) Hail’s Python interface generates tighter intermediate code, which should result in moderate performance improvements in many pipelines. - ([#5172](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5172)) Fix unintentional performance deoptimization related to `Table.show` introduced in 0.2.8. - ([#5078](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5078)) Improve performance of `hl.ld_prune` by up to 30x. ### Bug fixes - ([#5144](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5144)) Fix crash caused by `hl.index_bgen` (since 0.2.7) - ([#5177](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5177)) Fix bug causing `Table.repartition(n, shuffle=True)` to fail to increase partitioning for unkeyed tables. - ([#5173](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5173)) Fix bug causing `Table.show` to throw an error when the table is empty (since 0.2.8). - ([#5210](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5210)) Fix bug causing `Table.show` to always print types, regardless of `types` argument (since 0.2.8). - ([#5211](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5211)) Fix bug causing `MatrixTable.make_table` to unintentionally discard non-key row fields (since 0.2.8). * * * ## 0.2.8 Released 2019-01-15 ### New features - ([#5072](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5072)) Added multi-phenotype option to `hl.logistic_regression_rows` - ([#5077](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5077)) Added support for importing VCF floating-point FORMAT fields as `float32` as well as `float64`. ### Performance improvements - ([#5068](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5068)) Improved optimization of `MatrixTable.count_cols`. - ([#5131](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5131)) Fixed performance bug related to `hl.literal` on large values with missingness ### Bug fixes - ([#5088](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5088)) Fixed name separator in `MatrixTable.make_table`. - ([#5104](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5104)) Fixed optimizer bug related to experimental functionality. - ([#5122](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5122)) Fixed error constructing `Table` or `MatrixTable` objects with fields with certain character patterns like `$`. * * * ## 0.2.7 Released 2019-01-03 ### New features - ([#5046](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5046))(experimental) Added option to BlockMatrix.export\_rectangles to export as NumPy-compatible binary. ### Performance improvements - ([#5050](https://github.com/hail-is/hail/pull/5050)) Short-circuit iteration in `logistic_regression_rows` and `poisson_regression_rows` if NaNs appear.
