News for Microbiome.jl

v0.8.1

Some changes for JOSS review (#115), mostly in documentation

v0.8.0

This release brings a host of changes, including a manuscript for submission to the Journal of Open Source Software. Also, we're now part of EcoJulia! (moved from BioJulia).

Notable changes include:

Much better metadata handling in CommunityProfiles, (see esp issues #63 #64 #65 #75 #76)
Add commjoin function to merge the contents of multiple CommunityProfiles (#58)
Generic filtering of CommunityProfiles #79

See Release notes for full details.

v0.7.0 Major overhaul

Lots of breaking changes in this one, including

Whole new community profile structure using AxisArrays back-end
New AbstractSample type, containing embedded metadata
New Taxon and GeneFunction feature types
Dropped dependencies on SpatialEcology.jl and DataFrames.jl, but added Tables.jl interface and EcoBase.jl interfaces
Brought back convenience braycurtis and pcoa functions relying on Distances.jl and MultivariateStats.jl respectively

v0.5.0

Major Changes

Dropped Microbiome.jl-defined types and methods for DistanceMatrix. Use Distances.jl instead. Requires this SpatialEcology PR
Dropped Microbiome.jl-defined types and methods for PCoA. Use MDS from MultivariateStats.jl instead. Requires this MultivariateStats PR
Dropped Hclust leaf ordering. Added to Clustering.jl instead (see Clustering.jl PR)

v0.4.1

Major Changes:

Dropped support for julia-0.7

v0.3.0

Major changes

Dropped support for julia-0.6, moved on to julia-0.7
Moved Plotting and BioBakery utilities out to separate packages to reduce dependencies
- These two new packages will be released shortly
I'm keeping DataFrames dependency for now, though I'd like to move to IterableTables soonish (though constructors might be more sense in EcoBase)

Older versions

I didn't have NEWS.md until v0.3. I doubt anyone cares, but I kinda tried to keep track in release notes.
