New 1.3.1 versions of Samtools, BCFtools, and HTSlib have been released.  This 
is mainly a bug fix release, fixing a number of bugs and issues in December's 
1.3 release.  In particular:

* Improved management of samtools sort temporary files.  Running several 
separate "... | samtools sort | ..." pipelines simultaneously in v1.3 could 
lead to the sort commands corrupting each other's temporary files.  This is now 
fixed, and the functionality of the -T PREFIX option is improved.

* All samtools command are now more careful about checking for I/O errors, 
especially when writing output files.

* BCFtools has fixes to numerous commands and plugins, and has a new GTisec 
plugin courtesy of David Laehnemann.

For further details of these and other changes in these releases, see the 
release notes for each project linked to at <http://www.htslib.org/download/>, 
or see all three together at 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/samtools/files/samtools/1.3.1/>.

These releases can be found at <http://www.htslib.org/>.  Development and 
source code of these projects are linked from that web site and can be found in 
various Git repositories under <https://github.com/samtools>.  Release archives 
are available at both GitHub and SourceForge.

Installing the tools will also install manual pages for them.  Once installed, 
you should be able to use "man samtools" etc at your command line to read the 
documentation.  Manual pages and other documentation are also available online 
at <http://www.htslib.org/doc/>.
