Changes in XTandemParser v1.7.18 - (January 26. 2015):

  • BUG FIX: Fixed a bug in the PTM mapping where modifications where categorized as fixed or variable based on the PTM mass shift alone.

  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: Spectrum titles are now corrected in the id file reader.
  • BUG FIX: Refinement modifications are now considered as variable and not fixed as before.
  • BUG FIX: Fixed a bug where the residueModificationMass values where not parsed correctly. (These are the secondary sets of modifications added to support multiple sets of modifications analyzed simultaneously. See http://www.thegpm.org/tandem/api/refmm.html for details.)
  • BUG FIX: Made a minor change to the pom file to handle a recursive issues that can occur when opening the project in NetBeans 7.2.

Changes in XTandemParser v1.5.10 - (December 31. 2012):

  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: Added the code required to be able to get the complete protein description tag. (In the Protein object the getDescription method should now be used instead of the getLabel method, as getLabel often returns a shortened version of the description. The getLabel method is kept for cases where the protein note tag with the protein description is not provided.)
  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: Improved the error message thrown if an unknown amino acid is found when calculating the peptide mass.
  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: Removed the fixed modifications from the IDfilereader.
  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: JavaDoc and source is now part of the build.
  • LIBRARY UPDATE: Updated utilities to version 3.10.24.

Changes in XTandemParser v1.5.3 - (September 19. 2012):

  • FEATURE IMPROVEMENT: Made the code Maven 3 compliant.
  • LIBRARY UPDATE: Updated utilities to version 3.8.12.

Download Count: 10


Changes in XTandemParser v1.4 - (April 28. 2012):

  • BUG FIX: Fixed a bug where domain id was assumed to be unique (something it not always is…).
  • NOTE: Version 1.4 is not fully backwards compatible. The method getDomainKey() now ought to be used instead of getDomainID() as domain id is not always unique. Additionally proteinMap.getProtein(domain.getProteinKey()) replaces getProteinWithDomainKey(domain.getDomainID()).

Changes in XTandemParser v1.3.7 - (February 24. 2012):

  • BUG FIX: The parser now returns a null object (instead of crashing) if X!Tandem was unable to construct a reasonable estimate of the protein expectation value. (This can happen when none of the peptide assignments has an e-value < 1, which means that all of the assignments are no better than would be expected at random.)
