When choosing the best alignment, this release uses logarithm gap penalty and
query-specific mismatch penalty. It improves the sensitivity to long INDELs in
repetitive regions.

Other notable changes:

  • Bugfix: fixed an indirect memory leak that may waste a large amount of
    memory given highly repetitive reference such as a 16S RNA database (#749).
    All versions of minimap2 have this issue.

  • New feature: added --cap-kalloc to reduce the peak memory. This option is
    not enabled by default but may become the default in future releases.

Known issue:

  • Minimap2 may take a long time to map a read (#771). So far it is not clear
    if this happens to v2.18 and earlier versions.
