VCF v4.3 support and automatic error fixing
This release brings many exciting new features! VCF v4.3 is now supported and has been tested against more than 150 VCF files, so you can be sure it will catch a lot of pesky errors.
To make error solving a bit easier, vcf-validator now contains 2 different tools:
- The validator, which can write reports to plain text and now also to a portable database (SQLite). Then the user doesn't need to fix every error by hand, because this database can be later processed by an automated tool such as...
- The "debugulator", which reads the validator reports and automatically corrects as many errors as possible. This version can remove duplicated variants, and we will add more fixes in the future. In this release, the debugulator support is experimental and has some important bugs that were fixed in newer versions.
