   -

   Added a 'Reset to defaults' menu item, which addresses a long standing
   issue. Thanks to a user with a very long github name for their contribution
   (issue #1496 <https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/pull/1496>, issue #764
   <https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/issues/764>).
   -

   Disable coordinate indicator on tab switch, thanks @lukaw3d
   <https://github.com/lukaw3d> (issue #1497
   <https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/pull/1497>)
   -

   Small optimization bumping @gmod <https://github.com/gmod>/bam from
   version 1.0.35->1.0.36 (@cmdcolin <https://github.com/cmdcolin>)
   -

   Add ability to include/hide variant filters instead of just hide (
   @cmdcolin <https://github.com/cmdcolin>, issue #1478
   <https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/issues/1478>)
   -

   Add ability to color by TS tag. The useXS config now applies to XS and TS,
   and the useTS tag only applies to the lower-case ts tag used by minimap2
   (issue #1493 <https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/pull/1493>, @cmdcolin
   <https://github.com/cmdcolin>)
