- June 27, 2014: EBD v1.0.5 release. Improved support for parsing Newick trees with missing branch length information.
- May 24, 2013: EBD v1.0.4 release. Added support for generating jackknife values and hierarchical cluster trees.
- Feb. 5, 2013: EBD v1.0.3 release. Added functionality to project (prune) a tree to a specific set of taxa.
- Feb. 1, 2013: EBD v1.0.2 release. Now contains functionality for generating hierarchical cluster trees and a script for converting UniFrac formatted sample data into the EBD format.
