New in 10.13:
This release fixes the incorrect "Analyze Meals" screen header that says
"Record Meals". It fixes the function that guesses recipes of packaged foods,
which worked properly but had a variable and a constant of the same value
reversed so that user modifications to increase the precision would fail.
New in 10.12:
The function that guesses the recipes of packaged foods based on the
nutrition and ingredient statements has been rewritten. A much faster
implementation is achieved by quantizing all the values. This algorithm is a
search through all possible recipes because simultaneous equations do not
work for this problem.
New in 10.11:
This release contains a fix for bad Pumpkin Pie values, specifically, null
"carb/prot/fat" values for foods for which the USDA does not supply this
data.
New in 10.10:
This release fixes a bug in the function that allows foods to be added from
food labels. The carb/protein/fat field was not correct because
calories-per-gram fields were not explicitly set.
New in 10.9:
This release contains a fix for wrong calories-per-gram values when the
program starts because it read a float as an integer from the options file.
New in 10.8:
This release contains many small changes, among them an update of the fatty
acid reference values, a removal of the hard-to-obtain "Alaska Native" foods
as food suggestions, and a closer approximation when protein or carbs are
expressed as a percentage of calories.
New in 10.7:
This release changes how personal options are saved to disk so that personal
options will never be lost across program upgrades. Changes have also been
made to how the program upgrades itself on dual-boot systems, and levels of
the Omega-3 reference values have been modified.
New in 10.6:
This release fixes minor bugs related to the "Carb/Prot/Fat" field. Values
for alcoholic beverages have been corrected. Also, an error was fixed that
led to different fat values based on whether the user input changes to the
protein and carb "Daily Values" in percentages or grams. If the two
operations led to the same number of grams of protein and carbs, there should
have been no difference in the fat value.
New in 10.5:
This release adjusts the Omega-3 default reference values, for which there are
no U.S.A. Daily Values, so that EPA and DHA will be higher and alpha-linolenic
acid a little lower.
New in 10.4:
This release contains two minor design changes to the new feature of the last
release, which automatically chooses a meal analysis period. Always choosing
integer days, the new version picks the day closest to the target rather than
the day before; and allows no period shorter than five days, instead of four.
New in 10.3: don't know.
3.05 - Added -k option to show-coords to only display the best frame for
overlapping PROmer alignments. Added --[no]optimize option to nucmer
and promer to allow alignment score optimization to be turned off, i.e
allow alignments to extend to the ends of sequences rather than
backtracking to optimize the alignment score. Updated docs.
3.06 - Added -F and -h option to mummer. Changed -mumcand option to
-mumreference, but left deprecated -mumcand option available. Added
-maxmatch option to mummer, and changed default behavior of all
applicable programs to -mumreference (nucmer, promer and mummer).
Added -w (screen width) option to show-aligns. Updated documentation
with all of these changes.
3.07 - Added the 'mapview' plotting utility and appropriate documentation.
Fixed origin wrap shadowing bug in show-tiling when using the -c option.
NUCmer and PROmer now convert to absolute paths to avoid ambiguity.
3.08 - Added MUMmer examples web docs which gives brief walkthroughs
3.10 - Now Mac OSX compatible. Added -R option to show-tiling.
3.11 - Fixed bug show-tiling -R option. Added some mapview changes. Fixed
the issue with mummerplot being to faint.
3.12 - Added the --nosimplify option to nucmer for repeat searching. Fixed
a bug in nucmer and promer. Fixed rounding issue in show-coords.
Updated citations.
3.13 - Added -d, -g, -G and -o options to show-coords and updated documentation.
Fixed bug in show-tiling -R
3.14 - Fixed gcc3 compilation bug
3.15 - Fixed --nooptimize in nuc/promer.
While here, enable pkgviews installation.
Changes:
-:- hmmsearch intermittently failed on Swissprot searches, on some
platforms (reports on AMD/Linux; Mac OS/X). (#h25)
-:- hmmpfam memory allocation strategy did not guarantee RAMLIMIT,
and could explode to very large allocations when searching
with large sequences. (#h26)
-:- technical improvements in handing dsq's (digitized sequences);
"bug" has no visible effects, except when compiling on
different platforms. (#h27)
-:- typo fix in P7Forward() recursion; typo may have had minor
effect on calculated scores. (#h28)
-:- hmmalign now includes --outformat and --oneline option for
specifying different output alignment formats than the default
Stockholm.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
CHANGELOG, 12 October 2003
add -X option to glimmer2, to allow orfs extending off ends of
sequence to be scored. Also fix bug affecting -p and -o options
when user chose zero overlap.
* The FASTA format has been added to the list of alignment output
options.
* It is now possible to save the residue ranges (appended after the
sequence names) when saving a specified range of the alignment.
* The efficiency of the neighour-joining algorithm has been improved.
This work was done by Tadashi Koike at the Center for Information
Biology and DNA Data Bank of Japan and FUJITSU Limited.
Some example speedups are given below : (timings on a SPARC64 CPU)
No. of sequences original NJ new NJ
200 0' 12" 0.1"
500 9' 19" 1.4"
1000 XXXX 0' 31"
* ClustalW now returns error codes for some common errors when exiting.
This may be useful for people who run clustalw automatically from within
a script.
Error codes are:
1 bad command line option
2 cannot open sequence file
3 wrong format in sequence file
4 sequence file contains only 1 sequence (for multiple
alignments)
* Alignments can now be saved in Nexus format, for compatibility with
PAUP, MacClade etc. For a description of the Nexus format, see:
Maddison, D. R., D. L. Swofford and W. P. Maddison. 1997.
NEXUS: an extensible file format for systematic information.
Systematic Biology 46:590-621.
* Phylogenetic trees can also be saved in nexus format.
* A ClustalW icon has been designed for MAC and PC systems.
10.1:
This release adds a fix for zero values that display as no data.
10.0:
This release updates the USDA Nutrient Database to version SR17, and allows
current NUT installations to have their existing meal records reinterpreted
with the new database.
9.20:
This release optimizes the new code of the last release, the focus of which
was distinguishing no data from zero in the USDA database.
9.19:
The program now distinguishes between zero values and no data in the USDA
database, and uses this information to produce a new screen that lists foods
high in some nutrient while minimizing some other nutrient.
9.18:
This release contains revisions to the polyunsaturated fatty acid reference
values and how they scale up as fats increase and carbs decrease.
9.17:
This release provides what may be more reasonable or optimal default settings
for fat percentages when the user sets the program for low carb.
9.16:
This release contains bugfixes for a segmentation fault which occurred when
entering a control-D and a monounsaturated fat reference value that was too
high.
9.15:
This release makes serving sizes more consistent among food groups. It adds
functions to change the default serving size, and to sort foods by nutrients
per serving.
9.14:
This release adds support for an optional database subdirectory, allowing the
user to easily maintain multiple databases, for multiple family members, for
instance. It also adds display of non-fiber carbohydrate grams ("net carbs")
on the main analysis screen.
9.13:
The program now allows commercial foods that have a nutrition label and an
ordered ingredients statement to be added to the food database. An
approximation to a food's recipe is found that best fits the criteria and the
recipe is analyzed to provide information about the additional nutrients not
stated on the nutrition label.
9.12:
[unknown]
Update distinfo for new archive. Only minor bug fixes, no version change.
For a detailed diff, see:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/ben/profit-2004-08-14.txt
This addresses PR#26656 from Georg Schwarz.
New in 9.11:
Because the program uses the approximation of 4 calories per gram
for carbohydrate and protein to analyze meals according to the
"Daily Value" -- although real food has various values for calories
per gram -- the program now refigures fat percentage values at each
analysis so that when calories, carbs, and protein are each at
exactly 100%, fat will be also.
New in 9.10:
This release fixes a buffer overflow in the food selection function
which caused the program to not find certain foods even though they
existed in the database.
New in 9.9:
A bug has been fixed in which during food selection, the program
lost the value of the food name key. Also, some of the program's
reference values for the essential fatty acids have been modified.
New in 9.8:
The program now defaults to either grams or ounces, depending on
the weight unit the user enters to specify servings. A bug in
handling customary meal names that are too long has been fixed.
New in 9.7:
The program computes essential fatty acid reference values based
on the user's diet. Prior releases aimed toward a particular balance
of Omega-6 and Omega-3. This release allows the user to specify
the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 without having to determine
the amount of the individual fatty acids.
New in 9.6:
The program is now capable of understanding food names in simple
English, such as "fried chicken" and "mashed potatoes." This is
accomplished by including the list of abbreviations the USDA uses
and by successively searching for each tokenized term, whatever
the order in the USDA name.
9.5:
The last release introduced a bug when adding customary meals to
regular meals. The program now adds the foods without the additional
prompt screen.
9.4:
This release changes the method of searching for foods to a substring
search. The narrowing-down of food categories to a unique food is
the same as in prior releases.
This release fixes a bug in the graphs where the "Daily Value" was
such a small percentage of the values graphed that the DV line
indicator exceeded the graph width.
gcc3. While here, update to version 2.12 (previous version was erraneously
named 2.1, when it should have been 2.10) which is the only distfile
available on the ftp site.
Changelog seems to say:
- Fix bug on long-orfs.cc to avoid occasional array out-of-bounds
error (detected on Mac OS X).
9.2:
The upper limit of the polyunsaturated reference value for linoleic
acid has been reduced to 4% of calories, while that for alpha
linolenic acid has been raised to 2%. An internal constant for the
percentage of total fat that is fatty acids has been replaced by
a function that figures it for each analysis.
9.1:
The program is no longer limited to three meals a day, and can now
be set for 1 to 19 meals per day. A list of the meals not yet
recorded for a selected day is displayed as a mnemonic during the
"Record Meals" function.

Glimmer (Gene Locator and Interpolated Markov Modeler) is a system for finding
genes in microbial DNA, especially the genomes of bacteria and archaea.
Glimmer uses interpolated Markov models (IMMs) to identify the coding regions
and distinguish them from noncoding DNA. The IMM approach uses a combination
of Markov models from 1st through 8th-order, weighting each model according to
its predictive power.
