This release contains multiple important bugfixes and several minor improvements.

BUGFIXES:

  • fixed ML estimation of the proportion of invariant sites (+I)
  • invalid bootstrap support values (>100) on datasets with 32N taxa (thanks to Shoyo Sato)
  • fixed a bug in multi-partition parameter optimization involving LG4X/FreeRate models
  • load balancing failed under very specific circumstances (thanks to Shoyo Sato)
  • FreeRate model optimization failed when rates/weights approached the min/max values (thanks to Fabricia Ferreira Do Nascimento)
  • fixed parallel reduction buffer overflow on alignments with 1000s of partitions
  • several memory leaks in model parameter optimization routines

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • new --check command: check alignment/partition file, remove all-gap columns (similar to -f c in RAxML8)
  • PHYLIP parser is now ~10x faster on very long alignments (>10M sites, thanks to Mozes Blom)
  • several improvements for short/small alignments (avoid full tree traversals, faster tip-tip lookup table pre-computation)
  • parallelization hints: issue a warning if too few alignment patterns per thread are assigned
  • add DNA model aliases to be compatible with ModelTest-NG
