1. We present a new engine - momi! It is now possible to perform demographic inference with momi engine as well as draw pictures of models with it. For more information please see documentation. If one will face problems with usage of momi engine please post an issue on GitHub, we really appreciate the feedback!
2. Option Recombination rate was added as future engines integrated into GADMA can reqiure it. ALso momi needs it to simulate data with msprime.
3. New input data - fastsimcoal2 input files. All three engines (dadi, moments and momi) are able to read this format now. For more information about format please see corresponding section in documentation.
4. GADMA is now available via conda (Bioconda).
5. We fix an error in a genetic algorithm that had ignored change of mutation rate and strength of GA. Unfortunately, the hyperparameter optimization that was performed before is no longer valid. We are going to rerun and obtain new hyperparameter values as soon as possible. Right now we change values of mutation rate and strength constants to default values.
6. The distributions of variable sampling were also updated: the time variable will be sampled from log normal distribution (was just normal) and option Random NA is False by default now. According to the experiments on several datasets GADMA with new distributions performs better.
