I'm pleased to announce the release of JBrowse 1.16.1! This release offers a variety of small bugfixes for cross-origin resource fetching, BAM files, and JBrowse desktop.
It also contains a fix that helps very large track lists to have a faster initial load for the Hierarchical track selector specifically.
Enjoy browsing!
