The code to generate the md5sums for the merged matrix file didn't call .hexdigest() so the md5sum for the merged sparse matrix file was the string rerepresentation of the python md5 object.
0.2.2
-------------
Add function to write an AnnData archive to a mex_gene_archive file.
The manifest.tsv file is now being written into the same logical directory as the matrix being archived, to make it easier to extract multiple matrices.
read_mex_archive_as_anndata was adjusted to treat the splice junction matrix (SJ_Unique_raw..tar.gz) feature table differently from the gene features. Now it returns all the information about the splice junctions that STAR provides.
Internally there was some reorganization to support archiving matrices from memory instead of disk for a feature that turned out to be better implemented elsewhere.
0.2.0
-------------
This version is much better at removing all the possible sources of variation in the tar and gzip file formats so if the input files are the same the file hashes should also match.
I used the older way of initialzing the numpy random number generator to support numpy as far back as as 1.16.
Fixed a problem wehre scipy's mmread expected a bytestream and not a textstream
