RELEASE NOTES FOR REDOTABLE v1.0
--------------------------------

This is the initial completed release of redotable.  We have now 
implemented all of the basic features we initially planned for the
software to have.  The program should be usable for real work in
its current state, but we are still keen for feedback on what we
could do better.

The main things which have been added in this release are:

- Added a command line interface
- Added zooming and panning to the main plot
- Completed saving sequences
- Added help for all functions




RELEASE NOTES FOR REDOTABLE v0.1
--------------------------------

This is an initial beta release of the software which now has enough 
functionality to be useful. There are still major features which are
absent though, and many other parts may change dramatically over 
future releases.

Things which do work already are:

- Multi-fastq sequence loading
- Word based calculation of similarities, with configurable word sizes
- Interactive visualisation of dotplots, with zooming and filtering
- Automated restructuring of sequences to match a reference
- Manual reversing, ordering, hiding and highlighting
- Saving of re-ordered sequences
- Exporting graphics as PNG or SVG

Things which don't work:

- Saving dot plot projects
- Having any help at all
- Non-interactive mode
- Editing sequence names
