Setting names are case sensitive and the browser reads the lowercase form, so hubs copying the documented spelling silently got the default. Also adds level-new tags to the faceted composite settings metaDataUrl, primaryKey, maxCheckboxes and dataTypes so hubCheck -checkSettings recognizes them instead of reporting them as unknown. refs #37965 diff --git src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/changes.html src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/changes.html index 0378697289f..62ba038339b 100755 --- src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/changes.html +++ src/hg/htdocs/goldenPath/help/trackDb/changes.html @@ -33,30 +33,40 @@

2026-07-31faceted compositemaxCheckboxesDocumentation fix: this setting was previously listed here as + maxCheckBoxes, with a capital B. Setting names are case sensitive and the + browser has always read it as maxCheckboxes, so hubs that used the + capitalized spelling fell back to the default of 20 facet values. If your hub sets + maxCheckBoxes, change it to maxCheckboxes.
2026-07-08 genomes.txt setting codonTable New codonTable genome-stanza setting (an assembly hub genomes.txt setting, not a track setting) assigns NCBI genetic codes to individual sequences for amino acid display, e.g. codonTable default=1 NC_017929.1=13. Affects the base position track three-frame translation, codon-colored tracks such as gene predictions, and details pages. Sequences named chrM/chrMT still default to the vertebrate mitochondrial code.
