See release notes, which has links to more information.

New classes

  • ChromosomeLocation: A region of a chromosomed specified by species and name using cytogenetic naming conventions
  • CytobandInterval: A contiguous region specified by chromosomal bands features.
  • Haplotype: A set of zero or more Alleles.
  • VariationSet: A set of Variation objects.

Other data model changes

  • Interval was renamed to SequenceInterval. Interval was an internal class that was never instantiated, so this change should not be visable to users.

Documentation changes

  • Added Relationship of VRS to existing standards to describe how VRS relates to other standards.
  • Updated Normalization to clarify handling of reference alleles and generalize terminology to apply to all VRS objects.
  • Updated current and future schema diagrams.
  • Included a discussion of the Release Cycle.
