Release 1.5 [Solstice Release] (21st June 2017) -------------------- * Samtools fastq now has a -i option to create a fastq file from an index tag, and a -T option (similar to -t) to add user specified aux tags to the fastq header line. * Samtools fastq can now create compressed fastq files, by giving the output filenames an extention of .gq, .bgz, or .bgzf * Samtools sort has a -t TAG option, that allows records to be sorted by the value of the specified aux tag, then by position or name. Merge gets a similar option, allowing files sorted this way to be merged. (#675; thanks to Patrick Marks of 10xgenomics).
