RAxML-NG v0.8.1 BETA

Optimizations and extensions

• support model parameters in PAML format (--model PROTGTR{paml.txt}+G4)
• TBE optimization (>100x faster thanks to @lutteropp)
• safety checks can be disabled one-by-one, eg --force threads,.. or --force model_overfit
• print trees on a (small) terrace into standard multi-line newick file
• RF distance: accept multiple newick files separated by commas (eg. --rf tree1.nw,tree2.nw)
• properly handle zero state frequencies via rate matrix reduction trick

Bugfixes

• segfault in load balancing (rare special case)
• fix empirical p-inv computation with pattern compression
• #60: a rare bug in Brent optimization with values close to 0 (reported by @ephofmann)
• --loglh: user-specified brlen scaler values were ignored

Minor

• use 20 random starting trees by default if topological constraint is specified
• --evaluate: save best-scoring tree into bestTree file
• MPI: broadcast random seed
