Subject: [Rmannounce] New RepeatMasker and Libraries Released
Message-ID: <4A282B4F.4060706@systemsbiology.org>


RepeatMasker open-3.2.8 was released along with an updated set of repeat 
libraries ( RM-20090604, including most sequences up to RepBase 14.04 ). 
The library has been submitted to GIRI and will be available shortly.

Notably this release includes support for the ABBlast search engine from 
Advanced Biocomputing. This is the commercial version of the academic 
program WUBlast ( which is no longer available ) and will hopefully be 
released sometime later this month to the general public. Also a major 
optimization bug was found in ProcessRepeats and fixed in this release. 
Minor bugfixes also included in this release include: fixes for 
Debian/Ubuntu use of the DASH shell, GFF format inconsistency, and some 
documentation fixes.
