[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse 1.16.1 released

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

Hello all,

A new JBrowse version is here! This is a minor release with just a couple
of bugfixes and improvements. One interesting change allows the
Hierarchical track selector to be much faster when loaded with very large
track lists (e.g. thousands of tracks). Thanks to everyone for feedback and
bug reports, even on Christmas day :)

Happy holidays and enjoy browsing!
