24.4.0

These release notes are automatically extracted from the full changelog.

Features

• All commands: Allow repeating an option that takes multiple values. Previously, if multiple option flags were specified (e.g. --exclude-where 'region=A' --exclude-where 'region=B'), only the last one was used. Now, all values are used. #1445 (@victorlin)
• ancestral, translate: output node data files are now validated. The argument --validation-mode is added which controls this behaviour (default: error). This argument also controls validation of the input node-data file (ancestral only). #1440 (@jameshadfield)
• export: Updated default latitudes and longitudes for geography traits. This only applies if you are not using --lat-longs to override the built in mappings. #1449 (@trvrb)

Bug Fixes

• validation: we no longer exit with a non-zero exit code when the requested validation mode is "warn" #1440 (@jameshadfield)
• validation: we no longer perform any validation when the requested validation mode is "skip" #1440 (@jameshadfield)
• filter: Send all log messages to stderr. This allows output to be written to stdout (e.g. --output-strains /dev/stdout). #1459 (@victorlin)
