    * *Library Updates* - The databases have grown considerably again,
      with a new opossum library and several extensions made by GIRI,
      including a preliminary sea urchin library.

        These are the numbers for a few better represented species:

    * *Library Format Changes* - A new EMBL-like format for
      RepeatMasker's main library file adds expanded annotations to the
      repeat library. Repbase ID aliases are now noted in this file
      where applicable. Custom library input format hasn't changed.
    * *Fail Early Behavior* - RepeatMasker now reports unrecoverable
      search errors early rather than at the end of batch processing.
      This applies to users who use the parallel( -pa ) options and had
      to wait an extended period of time to learn that the first search
      failed.
