This is the ninth minor release (v1.9) introducing user-provided feature regions and various minor improvements.
Compatible database scheme version: 5
New features
* Support _a priori_ user-provided feature regions via `--regions` either in Genbank or GFF3 format (currently, only `CDS` features are supported). CDS coordinates are imported, supersede _de novo_ predicted `CDS`, and are subject to the regular internal annotation workflow. To provide functional annotation, as well use `--proteins`: 216 245 247 250 259 (Thanks marade PengfanZhang simone-pignotti thorellk)
