The following are the major additions to this release -
1. **CUDAPOA**
* **_New_** C++ API for creating CUDAPOA batches.
* **_New_** Python API bindings for CUDAPOA in pyclaragenomics
* **_New_** Python and C++ samples to guide usage of relevant APIs
* Lower memory footprint batches, requiring less than 50% of earlier versions, allowing more POA groups to be computed within a batch.
* Overall batched POA time down by ~20% on medium to large size batches (300-400 POA groups per batch).
2. **CUDAALIGNER**
* **_New_** Myers + Hirschberg implementation for global alignment, allowing for larger batches of longer sequences to be aligned on the GPU.
3. **SDK Improvements**
* **_New_** CUDA 9.0 support added to SDK
