Re: In what version of Jellyfish has the database output format changed (Was: Kraken requires jellyfish version 1)



Hi again,

to summarise my last mail it boils down to two questions:

To kraken author:
   Would kraken rund with jellyfish 1.5.5?

To jellyfish author:
   In what jellyfish version was the output format changed?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
