22.1.0

These release notes are automatically extracted from the full changelog.

Features

• export, frequencies, refine, traits: Add a new flag --metadata-id-columns to customize the possible metadata ID columns. Previously, this was only available in augur filter. #1240 (@victorlin)
• Add new sub-subcommand augur curate format-dates. The format-dates command is intended to be used to format date fields to ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD), where incomplete dates are masked with XX (e.g. 2023 -> 2023-XX-XX). #1146 (@joverlee521)

Bug fixes

• parse: Fix a bug where --fix-dates was always applied, with a default of --fix-dates=monthfirst. Now, running without --fix-dates will leave dates as-is. #1247 (@victorlin)
• augur.io.open_file: Previously, the docs described a type restriction on path_or_buffer but it was not enforced. It has been updated to allow all I/O classes, and is enforced at run-time. #1250 (@victorlin)
• filter: Fix a bug where data files consisting of only numerical strain names would not work when both --metadata and --sequences are passed. #1256 (@victorlin)
