+This release adds a couple small bugfixes. It also adds a new CLI command called
+`jbrowse sort-gff` that intends to help simplify the loading of GFF tabix
+tracks. The usage is as follows
+
+```
+jbrowse sort-gff yourfile.gff | bgzip > yourfile.sorted.gff.gz
+tabix yourfile.sorted.gff.gz
+jbrowse add-track yourfile.sorted.gff.gz --load copy --out /var/www/html/jbrowse2
+```
+
+This release also improves support for plotting arcs from breakend and SV style
+VCF and BEDPE files. The jbrowse CLI tool can load BEDPE files
