RTG Core 3.8.1 (2017-05-29)

---------------------------

This release primarily includes bugfixes and minor improvements:

* rocplot: (GUI) The right hand panel now includes a visual indication

  of the color for each curve.

* rocplot: (GUI) The color for a curve can now be set via color picker

  available from the per-curve context menu.

* rocplot: (GUI) Reordering the curves is now achieved by drag and drop

  rather than the (now removed) reorder buttons.

* misc: The RTG Tools release includes a scripts/demo-tools.sh that

  gives a quick end-to-end demonstration of simulation and VCF

  manipulation commands. This is similar in nature to the

  scripts/demo-family.sh script that is included in RTG Core.

* vcfeval: Fix an exception caused by the skipping of heterozygous

  structural variants being dependent on the GT field allele

  ordering. These variants are now correctly skipped. In previous

  releases the cases that slipped through would enter matching with a

  stub allele representing the SV allele.

* vcfeval: When running a sample-free comparison via the option

  `--sample ALT`, ignore records/alleles corresponding to structural

  variants.  In 3.8 these could produce an exception, and in previous

  releases any SV alleles present were included as a generic token

  during matching.

* vcfeval: Improve the handling of non-user exceptions encountered

  during VCF loading.  Previously these would produce an often

  inscrutable message.

* version: Update copyright year and include an alternative citation

  more appropriate for those using RTG Tools.

* popsim: Now includes the random number seed in the VCF header for

  consistency with with other simulation commands.
