* `plassembler long` officially released and implemented using [Canu](https://github.com/marbl/canu) and [dnaapler](https://github.com/gbouras13/dnaapler) to reassemble unmapped reads in place of Unicycler for `plassembler run`. While we'd still recommend getting short reads if you really want to recover plasmids, as long as your long reads are short enough (i.e. not size selected), `plassembler long` should hopefully recover most small plasmids.
* For more information, see the [documentation](https://plassembler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/long/).
* Faster mapping thanks to [fanvanf](https://github.com/fanvanf)'s [issue](https://github.com/gbouras13/plassembler/issues/29).
* The ability to specify a `--flye_directory` if you already have a Flye assembly for your long reads, which will tell `plassembler` to skip the long read assembly step.
