Change Log
- Version 4.13.9 released (07/14/2016)
- The source code has been optimized to prepare for incoming new meta-analysis method in next version.
- Reduced running time when reading >10,000s individuals from vcf
- Fixed seg fault in raremetalworker for calculating SNP HWE p value when sample size > 40k
- A seg fault: sometimes you only have very few variants but raremetal still tries to calculate GC.
- Version 4.13.8 released (12/13/2015)
- when grouping from vcf, raremetal now obtains information only from "ANNOFULL" field.
- fixed seg fault in matching --annotation option to vcf annotation.
- with empty --annotation option, raremetal now groups all non-intergenic variants.
- fixed a bug in conditional analysis when there are multiple varaints to condition on.
- fixed a seg fault in calculating genomic control.
- add --variantList option in RaremetalWorker to only calculate variance-covariance matrix between certain markers.
- add --range option in both Raremetal and RaremetalWorker to focus on given region only.
- Version 4.13.7 released. (9/18/2015).
- group file generated from annotated vcf is now stored in "test.groupfile" under current running directory.
- use -O0 option in compiling. In very rare situations, gcc optimization will affect the results.
- tabix RMW output with --zip toggled.
- In SKAT meta analysis, skip the variant when all its lambdas are zero.
- bug fixes in conditional analysis: in very rare situation raremetal takes rvtest input as raremetalworker input.
- add --altMAF option to exclude studies in which a variant is not present.
- Version 4.13.6 released. (3/8/2015)
- add a new option --mergedVCFID to recognize VCF files with sample IDs in "FAMID_PID" format

- Version 4.13.5 released. (9/29/2014)
- a bug fixed in conditional analysis in raremetal.
- Version 4.13.4 released.
- store beta estimates of intercept and fixed effects in rarmetalworker *.singlevar.score.txt header.
- Version 4.13.3 released.
- read rvtest output format correctly in raremetal.
- Version 4.13.2.
- fixed sqrt_V output when analyzing unrelated individuals without kinship and --inverseNormal is not used and trait variance is not one.
- Version 4.13.1.
- fixed a bug affecting output format when ped/dat files are used together with --dominant --recessive options.
- version 4.13
- fixed bug when using --vcX option.
- Fixed bug estimating kinshipX with female samples.
- Added --kinOnly option for generating kinship only without association analysis.

- version 4.12.1
- fixed command interface display issue in raremetalworker.
- version 4.12
- improved make file for better compilation.
- version 4.11
- fixed a bug for inverse-normalizing traits (a bug only in version 4.9 and later).
- version 4.10
- fixed a bug when analyzing multiple traits is requested in raremetalworker (bug only in version 4.9 and later, and doesn't affect results).
