This commit updates the project to use Go version 1.27 for all build and testing processes. It also introduces support for experimental SIMD code compilation, enabling it by default while ensuring a portable scalar fallback is available. Documentation has been updated to reflect the new Go version and the use of the experimental SIMD package.
- Update Go version from 1.25.0 to 1.26.1 in go.mod and go.work
- Fix Makefile: quote LDFLAGS to handle spaces safely in -ldflags
- Improve build error handling: on failure, cat log then cleanup and exit with error code
- Update install_obitools.sh: properly set GOROOT, GOPATH, and GOTOOLCHAIN; ensure GOPATH directory is created
Replace silent curl commands with --progress-bar option to provide visual feedback during Go and OBITools4 downloads, improving user experience without changing download logic.
- Add .DEFAULT_GOAL := all to Makefile for consistent default target
- Document -j/--jobs option in README.md to allow parallel compilation
- Add JOBS variable and -j/--jobs argument to install script (default: 1)
- Replace fragile mkdir/cp commands with robust error handling and clear diagnostics
- Add build directory preservation on copy failure for manual recovery
- Pass -j option to make during compilation to enable parallel builds
Update installation script to support specific version installation, list available versions, and improve documentation.
- Add support for installing specific versions with -v/--version flag
- Add -l/--list flag to list all available versions
- Improve help message with examples
- Update README.md to reflect new installation options and examples
- Add note on version compatibility between OBITools2 and OBITools4
- Remove ecoprimers directory
- Improve error handling and user feedback during installation
- Add version detection and download logic from GitHub releases
- Update installation process to use tagged releases instead of master branch
