Release 2.0.0.rc8 · wurmlab/sequenceserver

Features

Automatically check for incompatible databases on startup and prompt users to reformat them.
Reformatting databases now preserves taxonomy information embedded in the database (if any).
Add ability to use -taxids_map of makeblastdb during database creation. To use it place a '.taxids_map.txt' file next to the FASTA file.
Add 'Edit search' and 'New search' links to the report page (thanks to Tomas-Pluskal & TomMD for the push).
Add option to open BLAST results in a new tab.
Search form can now be cleared by reloading the page. Relevant if you used browser's back button or 'Edit search' link and wanted to clear the form to start over.
Make it easier to pass command line arguments to Docker image. For example, number of BLAST threads can now be set as docker run ... wurmlab/sequenceserver sequenceserver -n 4 instead of docker run ... wurmlab/sequenceserver bundle exec bin/sequenceserver -d /db -n4 (yeah!)
