bcftools version

[reubenthomas]

Hi,

The installation page suggests we need bcftools version number at least 1.5, whereas the latest release of bcftools appears to be 1.16. Was the requirement version 1.5 meant to be version 1.15?

Thanks,

Hi Reuben,

Interesting, back when we wrote this it actually was referred to as version 1.5 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/samtools/files/samtools/1.5/). Looks like they've done some updating? I'll work on this when I have a chance.

Hi,

I have also encountered this issue recently, in the process of checking the version number, I found that bcftools=1.5 (https://github.com/samtools/bcftools/releases/tag/1.5) was released in 2017 and now it has been updated to 1.20.
The error is reported when using bcftools version 1.20, it could also be due to the mismatch of versions, I will try to resolve the issue if I get a chance.
