version 0.16

! bug found
* bug fixed

The major changes in this version include:

+ new genome added - Canis familiaris

+ conservation filter's task selection page is now a little more
descriptive and easier to use with many tasks

+ Help page was extended with the "Description of conservation filter
output format"

~ modified threshold identification method for the HMM TFBS finder;
method description will be added later

~ promoter definition changed; now promoter is "2000bp upstream of
TSS, plus 5'UTR"; this was done as a temporary measure until we
implement the full-genome-sequence search feature

* the e-mail sending problem was finally given an ultimate fix: the
task status page is now auto-reloading until the task is finished -
after that direct result download links are shown; it's OK to bookmark
task status page after submission and revisit it later - the links
will be there

* conservation filter was defunct after an upgrade to Ensembl release
50; this is now fixed


In addition to the description of the new HMM automatic threshold
identification method, we will soon post the COTRASIF development
roadmap, which is now ready.

missed an important convenience feature:

+ HMM scores are now normalized
