1.1 Release: Haplotypes, VariationSets, ChromosomeLocations

See release notes, which has links to more information.

New classes

• ChromosomeLocation: A region of a chromosomed specified by species and name using cytogenetic naming conventions
• CytobandInterval: A contiguous region specified by chromosomal bands features.
• Haplotype: A set of zero or more Alleles.
• VariationSet: A set of Variation objects.

Other data model changes

• Interval was renamed to SequenceInterval. Interval was an internal class that was never instantiated, so this change should not be visable to users.

Documentation changes

• Added Relationship of VRS to existing standards to describe how VRS relates to other standards.
• Updated Normalization to clarify handling of reference alleles and generalize terminology to apply to all VRS objects.
• Updated current and future schema diagrams.
• Included a discussion of the Release Cycle.
