Dear all,

we're pleased to let you know that starting from version 1.1.2
(Bioconductor development, 2.10), htSeqTools operates also with GRanges and
GRangesList objects, using it as analogs to their RangedData and
RangedDataList counterparts.

Currently, the package functions will convert these objects internally to
their RangedData and RangedDataList versions respectively, and back to
GRanges and GRangesList before returning them. Please be aware that some
features or information present in GRanges objects may be lost in the
conversion to their RangedData counterpart, but this can always be solved
by saving this information before the function call and assigning it back
in place afterwards.

We will gradually incorporate refinements on these new features with more
details and documentation, but in view of some recent emails we thought the
development version could be of interest to some users. Should you have any
doubt or encounter any bug during operation, please don't be shy and let us
know.

We have also included some new examples in the vignette on importing data
from external files and storing it into RangedData and RangedDataLists
objects.

Albest,

Oscar
