  • Reduce exposition of third-party libraries to interface
  • greatly improved pyOpenMS documentation and extra functions (in the pyopenms-extra submodule)
  • Fixes IDMapper for isobaric labelling experiments (will lead to much more identifications)
  • Deisotoping algorithm using KL
  • PeptideIndexer supports ambiguous AA’s in Peptide sequence (as reported by recent Mascot versions) (#5776)
  • SeqAn external library removed from source tree (not needed anymore)
  • Resolve compatibility issues between IDRipper and IDMerger (#4957)
  • Basic MzTabM support for AccurateMassSearch
  • Changed default parameter keep_unidentified_masses to “true” (AccurateMassSearch/AccurateMassSearchEngine)

Releases

Here is a list of OpenMS releases, with links to release notes. Bugfix releases (only the z changes in the x.y.z version number) have no new features; minor releases (the y increases) do.
