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.

Mummer is a system for aligning whole genome sequences. Using an efficient
data structure called a suffix tree, the system is able rapidly to align
sequences containing millions of nucleotides whether in complete or draft
form. MUMmer can also align incomplete genomes; it handles the 100s or 1000s
of contigs from a shotgun sequencing project with ease, and will align them to
another set of contigs or a genome using the NUCmer program included with the
system.
