[Segway-announce] Segway 1.1.0 released

[Michael Hoffman]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Segway 1.1.0.

The biggest improvement is that posterior output is now re-enabled and
is parallelized, thanks to an effort by Avinash Sahu. There is also a
--recover feature that works similarly to the previous --old-directory
did for identify, but it works for train as well. There are several
other usability and robustness improvements.

Please let me know if you have any comments on Segway, its
documentation, web site, installation, or anything else. (The
preferred place to make these comments is on the segway-users mailing
list or by reporting an issue on the issue tracker, both linked from
the main web site).

Here is a full list of changes made since the last announcement here:

1.1.0:

* segway: now again includes posterior output in bedGraph format
   (thanks to Avinash Sahu)
* segway: --old-directory renamed to --recover
* segway: --recover now supports identify as well as train. less
   clunky and more consistent than the old recipe for training recovery
   included in the docs (posterior still not supported)
* segway: train.tab is now optional, so you should be able to run
   identify on pre-Segway 1.0.0 training directories that don't have
   it, as long as you specify all the same options as you did before
* segway-winner: new command to pick winning parameters in interrupted training run
* segway: train.tab now includes input master filename in multi-instance training
* segway: changed memory progression edge error to be more easily understandable
* segway: when some error kills one training instance, there is now a more detailed error at end
* segway: remove --keep-going, which hasn't done anything in a few versions
* test: filenames are sorted before comparisons
* test: now includes posterior test
* test/README: added description of test system
* test: training now only goes through two rounds to speed the tests
