STAMP version history

The version history is now at GitHub.

v2.0.2

• Added support for BIOM profiles.
• Updated manual.

v2.0.1

• Added group and multi-group heatmaps.
• Improved speed of table updates.
• Bug fix: Multi-group bar plots were incorrectly scaled by 100.

v2.0.0 (release candidate 6)

• STAMP profiles with 'unclassified' taxa are now handled properly.
• Improved handling of degenerate cases where parent categories have no sequences assigned to them.

v2.0.0 (release candidate 5)

• Added compatibility with MG-RAST LCA profiles.

v2.0.0 (release candidate 4)

• Added option to PCA plots to assign each group a unique shape.
• Fixed issue with MG-RAST profiles. These profiles do not form a strict tree as required by STAMP. A strict tree structure is now enforced by modifying category names that appear multiple times.
• Fixed processing of mothur classify.seqs() results that was causing an error for certain reference taxonomies.
• Fixed bug causing PCA plots to generate an error under some circumstances when clicking on points to determine sample IDs

v2.0.0 (release candidate 3)

• Fixed generation of 'two groups' PCA plots along with various OS X related bugs

v2.0.0 (release candidate 2)

• Fixed bug where STAMP fails due to calculating PCA on a singular matrix.

v2.0.0 (release candidate 1)

• Initial official release of STAMP version 2.

v1.08

• Provides support for the new functional and organism profiles in MG-RAST v3.0.

v1.07

• Exploratory scatter plots now support histogram summaries of the distribution of features.
• x-axis labels of relevant plots can now be modified to accommodate profiles where feature counts do not originate from sequences.
• Multi-code COGs can now be treated as separate features or a sequence can be assigned to each COG code.
• Fixed issue with OS X installation which caused the data files required for COG annotations to be missing.
• Fixed bug leading to an infinite loop of error messages when trying to generate excessively large plots.
• Fixed bug causing cursor to remain as a "busy" cursor after configuring a plot.

v1.06

• Any Python generated error is now displayed to the user to aid in debugging file format issues or reporting possible bugs.
• Extra blank lines in profile files are now ignored.
• File menu items now have more descriptive names making their use more transparent.
• Fixed bug causing the command line execution to produce some output messages even when the verbose option was set to 0.
• Open profile dialog now shows both *.spf and *.txt files by default.

v1.05

• STAMP can now read profile files with Windows, Unix, or MAC style line endings.
• More informative error messages.

v1.04

• Fixed bug with label ordering being reversed in extended error plots (bug introduced in v1.02)

v1.03

• Fixed bug resulting in save tables failing (thanks to Mattias de Hollander for bring this to my attention).

v1.02

• Fixed bug where last directory was not retained when opening or saving files under Windows XP.
• Added warning dialogs when about to plot profiles containing several hundred features.

v1.01

• Modified code to remove dependency on PyQt4 and matplotlib when running from the command-line.
• Added unit tests (see STAMP_test.py)

v1.0

• Initial release
