v2.7.8

• fix:
  • findGeneDeletions report zero flux and growth ratio for essential genes
  • GitHub workflow parsing of testing output
• feat:
  • removeRavenFromPath can quickly remove RAVEN folders from the MATLAB path
  • graph layout improvements for runPhenotypePhasePlane
  • runRobustnessAnalysis optional reduced cost plot
• refactor:
  • setParam minor speed improvement

v2.7.7

Main improvements in this PR:

• fix:

  • checkInstallation ensures that binaries (blastp etc.) and MEX files (TranslateSBML etc.) are executable on Mac, as this is not the case if RAVEN is installed as MATLAB Add-On
  • checkInstallation runtests on MATLAB < 2018b
  • getModelFromHomology no longer includes "OLD_" genes from the template model(s) if this gene is only involved in "OR" gene associations (= isoenzyme), but only if involved in "AND" gene associations (= subunit).
  • constructS trim spaces around metabolites for matching

• feat:

  • writeYAMLmodel and readYAMLmodel functionality
  • support in various functions for a model.metSmiles field, which contains SMILES for each metabolite
  • solveLP (via optimizeProb) reports shadow prices and reduced costs
  • new runRobustnessAnalysis, runDynamicFBA, runPhenotypePhasePlane, runProductionEnvelope and runSimpleOptKnock functions
  • printFluxes can print multiple flux vectors
  • convertToIrrev gives output specifying match between reversible and novel irreversible reactions

• refactor:

  • randomSampling speed-up with hot-start LPs
  • expandModel speed improvement

v2.7.6

• fix
  • solveLP use specified parameters during flux minimization
  • optimizeProb use default feasTol and optTol e-9 (instead of e-6), otherwise raising issues in Gecko (Light)
  • addRxns, addRxnsGenesMets, getModelFromHomology various minor bugs
  • exportModel revert 3996e6a, as it resulted in warnings when validating SBML files
  • changeGeneAssoc when genes are already in model (solves #440)
• feat
  • checkInstallation reports system architecture
  • getAllowedBounds reports progress
  • randomSampling more detailed and accurate progress reporting
• refactor
  • optimizeProb speed-up by avoid running ispref if not required

v2.7.5

• fix:
  • fatal bug in checkTasks (closes #434)

v2.7.4

• fix:
  • resolves bug in runINIT with csense vector
  • resolves bug in changeRxns if equations are provided as structure
• chore:
  • update KEGG mat files and trained HMMs to release 102
  • copied curation of getGenesFromGrRules from human-GEM (part of SysBioChalmers/Human-GEM#392)

v2.7.3

• refactor:
  • constructS is about 3-times faster
• fix:
  • set solver coherently as preference and global variable (closes #425)

v2.7.2

• feature
  • RAVEN can now also be installed via MATLAB File Exchange, or even simpler, via MATLAB Add-Ons Explorer
  • ftINIT fast tINIT algorithm
  • contractModel removes _EXP_* suffixes if present in all duplicated reactions, as these reactions were derived from expandModel
  • findGeneDeletions gives optional grRatioMuts output, with the growth ratio of the mutant vs. wild-type
• refactor
  • optimizeProb to match the new ftINIT function
  • remove MATLAB-git dependency in exportForGit
  • set solver as global variable for speed-up of multiple optimizeProb runs
• fix
  • addMets accepts single compartment if it is the same for all metabolites (see ff462fd#r74565757)
  • expandModel adds _EXP_* suffixes to all expanded reactions, also the first one (it previously skipped _EXP_1)
  • removeGenes accepts numeric and logical input

v2.7.1

• fix
  • correctly parse relative paths to model files on Mac/Unix (e.g. by importModel)
• feature
  • checkInstallation checks if a new RAVEN version is available on GitHub, and gives instructions on how to proceed

v2.7.0

• feature
  • provide libSBML and glpk binaries and force their usage (instead of others present in MATLAB path) (#408 and #409)
  • exportForGit has option to write text files with metabolite names (instead of IDs), which is more informative when used in diff-ing model changes (particularly when yaml file is also generated)
  • numerous unit-tests included (contributing to #414)
• refactor
  • format of tests reports in PRs (#411)
  • parsing of (MI)LP to solvers via optimizeProb (#408)
  • layout of checkInstallation and use unit_tests (#408)
  • allow text input as either character vector, string array, or array of either of those (solves #397)
• fix
  • various minor bugs, more informative error messages and improved documentation in sortModel, printFluxes, addRxns, addMets, compareMultipleModels, loadWorkbook

v2.6.2

• fix:
  • addRxns new subSystems should be cell arrays
