Release v2.18.0

This release marks a number of improvements including

New multi-variant display modes

• Ability to display multi-sample VCF in a 'matrix' or 'stacked' style view
• Supports both large 1000 genomes style VCF or smaller trio VCF
• Allows users to cluster rows by genotype using a call out to R script

Major improvements to the spreadsheet and SV inspector views

• Allows opening tracks in the spreadsheet and SV inspector

• Uses @mui/x-data-grid for display of the spreadsheet

• Makes separate columns for VCF INFO fields

• Support larger files by storing data in 'volatile' storage that doesn't bog down the session

• Support DEL, INV, and all types of SVs instead of just TRA and BND type variants in the SV inspector

• Re-navigates existing breakpoint split view instead of launching a new one each time

Saves user sessions in a local IndexedDB

• Sessions are saved in IndexedDB instead of localStorage which has much higher capacity and organization, so you won't lose your sessions if your web browser closes!
• Users can create "favorite" sessions to revisit for later
• Admins can also create pre-configured sessions for their instancse for users

Improved "aborting" behavior

This is an ongoing refactor, but there is now new improved 'aborting' behavior reducing some of the re-calculations that bog down the UI.

Optimized and improved jbrowse-plugin-gwas

• New optimizations added for loading large GWAS style BED datasets to enable better jbrowse-plugin-gwas features
• The jbrowse-plugin-gwas also added a better clickmap allowing you to see the mouse-over feature https://github.com/cmdcolin/jbrowse-plugin-gwas
