Release of LoFreq 2.1.5
15 Jun 2020We just published version 2.1.5 of LoFreq. This is a pure bug-fix release that fixes a seven year old Heisenbug. This bug only surfaced recently in Conda builds and badly affected indel calling in the Conda version of LoFreq 2.1.4 (see previous post and Github issue for details). The bug was caused by a C string handling quirk (surprise), which produces undefined code and hence only showed up under special conditions (see this Stackoverflow post for more info).
A lot of people helped collecting details, which ultimately made it possible to find the bug. Especially Semion Leyn and Björn Grüning were instrumental. Thanks so much to all!
