What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Improved multithreading support so that Bowtie 2 now uses native Windows threads when compiled on Windows and uses a faster mutex. Threading performance should improve on all platforms.
· Improved support for building 64-bit binaries for Windows x64 platforms.
· Bowtie is using a spinlocking mechanism by default.
· Test option --nospin is no longer available. However bowtie2 can always be recompiled with EXTRA_FLAGS="-DNO_SPINLOCK" in order to drop the default spinlock usage.
