Releases: StuntsPT/NCBI_Mass_Downloader
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v3.0
This is mostly a documentation update.
The project moved away from a simple README.md to readthedocs.org
The email address field was also removed since the NCBI documentation states that this should not be a user provided field, but rather the tool's developer email.
No binaries will be released for this version as v3.1 is just around the corner. The documentation upgrade was, however a significant change that warrants the need for a major version bump.
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.8
The code was refactored for better PEP8 conformance.
Also, an workaround was provided for downloading data from "genome" database, due to it being dropped from the e-utilities API.
Notes:
- On OSX, please go to Settings>Security & Privacy and enable running programs from unidentified developers. Otherwise OSX won't allow you to run NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder.
- A big thank you to @bmpvieira and @AliciaMstt for testing the OSX binaries.
- A special thank you to @netbofia for letting me use his Mac for building the OSX binary.
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.6
A lot of changes in this release (mostly on the GUI version):
- Proper threading was implemented in the GUI
- Added a cancel button
- Cleaned up old, unused code
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.5
This version merges some upstream Biopython changes and changes the tool name that gets sent to NCBI.
Windows and OSX binaries will not be built as a new version is available.
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.4
Another bugfix release.
Changelog:
- A lot of internal code refactoring. It is now much easier to read and understand the code;
- Improved variable names, to better conform with PEP8;
- Improved reliability of RE-downloading sequences, due to using "HTTP POST" requests instead of "epost";
No binaries will be released for this version
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.3
This release is just bugfixes.
Changelog:
- Updated the Entrez components of the program to the latest upstream biopython releases, which fixes a but with very large downloads
- Updated the "retmax" value by an order of magnitude, since the NCBI databases have grown a lot since this value was initially implemented, to the point that it was now causing trouble.
I've decided not to call it a minor release since it incorporates upstream changes.
No binaries will be released for this version
NCBI Mass Sequence Downlaoder v2.2
This version is similar in function to v2.1.
However, some all upstream biopython changes were merged.
For the end-user, there should be no real difference from v2.1.
To install and use, just uncompress the binary distribution (be it zip or tar.xz) and double click on "NCBI_Downloader".
MacOSX binaries are built on Yosemite (untested in other versions).
