Full Changelog: v4.0.0...v4.1.0

Version 4.0.0

This new release of Fulgor features the faster pseudoalignment algorithms described in the paper Fast pseudoalignment queries on compressed colored de Bruijn graphs, WABI 2025.

Also, the construction of the indexes is much faster compared to the previous release.

Version 3.0.0

This new release of Fulgor introduces the differential-meta-colored index, as described in the paper Where the patters are: repetition-aware compression for colored de Bruijn graphs, JCB 2024.

Version 2.0.0

• This new release of Fulgor features the meta/partial colors optimization, as described in the paper "Meta-colored compacted de Bruijn graphs" (RECOMB 2024) which can enable significantly better compression effectiveness.

• Fixed a niche corner case in next_geq.

Version 1.0.0

First release of Fulgor. The index is described in the paper "Fulgor: A fast and compact k-mer index for large-scale matching and color queries" (ALMOB 2024).
