This release provides the option to conduct filtered searches by taxonomy. Using --taxonlist followed by a comma-separated list of NCBI taxonomy IDs will search only against matching reference sequences. Any taxonomic rank can be used. For example, use --taxonlist 562 to search against all E. coli sequences; use --taxonlist 2 to search against all bacterial sequences.

This feature requires taxonomy data to be built directly into the database. The --taxonmap and --taxonnodes options now need to be provided exclusively to the makedb command if taxonomy features are to be used.

This release changes the database format and requires database rebuilding. To rebuild the database from an existing one, a Unix pipe can be used like this:
/path/to/old/diamond getseq -d dbfile | /path/to/new/diamond makedb -d newdb
