Dear OpenMS-Users,

we are proud to announce the release of OpenMS 2.6.0. Grab it
here

In the following you find all important changes to the previous version:

——————————————————————————————

We now create nightly pyopenms wheels (https://pypi.org/project/pyopenms-nightly/) and conda packages (https://anaconda.org/OpenMS/)

Adapters/Third-party support:
– LuciphorAdapter now stores which modifications were used for localization (#4771) and localization scores are reported in mzTab #4772
– Added Percolator3.0 support, fixed ConsensusID reading from wrong (Percolator-overwritten) meta data (#4829), and adapted the Regex parsing of XTandem Percolator output files #4849
– Added options introduced in new MSGF versions #4713
– Updated IsoSpec fine structure isotopic calculator sources to v 2.1.0 #4733
– Updated other third-party tools

What’s new:
– Introduced a Wizard for Swath data (#4647 #4706 #4758 #4769 #4773 #4837), which also reports summary statistics about Swath TargetedExperiments #4788 #4790
– UTIL StaticModification: Applies a set of modifications to all PeptideIDs in an idXML file (UTIL)
– TOPP DatabaseSuitability: Computes a suitability score for a database which was used for a peptide identification search. Also reports the quality of LC-MS spectra. #4791 #4781 #4814
– Added support for QC of labeled experiments (iTRAQ/TMT)
– Added automated QC computations for MRM (#4637)
– Adapted consensusXML and mzTab to support protein groups (#4630)
– Consensus/IDMerger: Introduced use of merge idx to ensure keeping track of primaryRuns
– Epifany: Added calculation of protein group FDR, ID filtering for protein group scores (#4802) and support for inference on not just individual samples but also consensusXML files
– FeatureFinderCentroided/FeatureFinderAlgorithmPicked: Improved runtime performance #4652 #4701
– FeatureFinderIdentification: Improved SLIM-labeling experiment support
– FileConverter: Improved runtime performance when producing mzML output #4750
– FeatureLinkerQT: Introduced Fibonacci heaps for large runtime optimization (#4721) and fixed related preconditions/segfaults #4756 #4760 #4778
– IDFilter: added support for consensusXMLs #4798 #4799
– MapAlignerIdentification: New option to use an “identity” transformation when data is too sparse to determine alignment model #4628
– MzTabExporter: changed to only export one main score, and to derive nativeIDs from data (#4767). Now ensures that all output rows contain the same number of columns #4801
– MzTabExporter on LFQ consensusXMLs produces 100% PRIDE validated mzTabs now
– ProteomicsLFQ: Added spectral counting as quantification method (#4726). Introduced performance improvements for AASequence and string parsing, especially for modified sequences. Various further improvements (e.g. #4669)
– SimpleSearchEngine (multithreaded), TheoreticalSpectrumGenerator, MSSpectrum: Runtime optimization #4709
– Further introduction of more file streaming to address possible memory consumption issues #4682 #4694

Further fixes:
– We now limit double precision to 17 digits during file writes #4636
– Ensure that CometAdapter always writes indexed mzML fixes for CometAdapter (#4653), fixed the writing of terminal modifications with specific origin in Comet (#4742), the writing of protein terminal mods in Comet and MSGF adapter #4710, and the Comet pepXML modification parsing #4755
– Removed secondary search engine settings duplication in mzTab MTD section. #4720
– Improved XTandem output protein parsing #4789 to fix Issue #4770
– Increased (partial) support for parsing mzid with nonstandard, non-CV-term scores, fixes #4859
– Fixes to NucleicAcidSearchEngine mzTab output #4692
– ConsensusID now passes spectrum reference meta values along #4703
– Fix to LFQ requantification #4633
– Improved MapAlignerTreeGuided memory usage (#4704) and fixed segfault when featureXML contains no IDs #4665
– TOPPAS fixes #4780

Various:
– OMMSAAdapter now writes out native ids and spectrum references #4852
– FileInfo: Report more charge distribution and MS2 activation-method information for Raw files #4836
– Added sum formula output in RNAMassCalculator #4677
– Added automatic OpenMS tool reporting of peak memory usage #4712
– Some extra tools documentation outputs #4822 #4823
– Extended mapping of filetypes and mimetypes for knime output formats documentation #4839
– RTEvaluation: fixed output formats #4533
– Some further clarifications, standardization/consolidation of outputs formats/consistency
– Continued fixes/improvement of documentation
– Removed deprecated version of PeakPickerHiRes (LowMemPeakPickerHiResRandomAccess and LowMemPeakPickerHiRes). Their functionality can be accessed through options of PeakPickerHiRes
