10/26/2016 v2016.10.26
- Minimum spectra per thread reduced from 1000 to 250
10/24/2016 v2016.10.24
- Return a non-zero exit code if an error occurs
- Better exception handling for multi-threaded searches
10/14/2016 v2016.10.14
- Fix: handling of -m (FragmentMethodID) when processing .mgf files
10/10/2016 v2016.10.10
- Fix: mzid output - Peptide IDs were being mishandled and led to creating incorrect PeptideEvidence references in SpectrumIdentificationItems. Also, added more information to the Peptide IDs to decrease the possibility of ID collision on edge cases.
09/22/2016 v2016.09.22
- New: Add the ability to set the charge carrier mass to something besides the mass of a proton.
08/31/2016 v2016.08.31
- Fix: output the scan start time units to the mzid file when the input is mzML; previously only the value (without the units specified) was being output, which was ambiguous and did not comply with the CV specification
- New: When input is a _dta.txt file, with supporting _ScanType.txt file, a 4th column listing scan start time (in minutes) is supported, and will be output to the mzid if present.
07/26/2016 v2016.07.26
- Add UVPD as a dissociation method
- Add new ions: a. and x.
- Fix off-by-one error in IonType code that ignores c-NH3
06/29/2016 v2016.06.29
- Clean up the mzid output a little, reducing file size (v2016.06.15 introduced a change that resulted in larger mzid files)
- Reduced the amount of unnecessary data in the .jar file, cutting size by ~1/2
06/15/2016 v2016.06.15
- Fix the mzid output when the modification is unknown to unimod. (cvRef now correctly references PSI-MS, and the value will be the name provided in the Mods.txt file)
- Update the unimod.obo to date 2016:02:01, and change code to parse it properly after updating
- Bump some dependencies to a newer version, and change code to properly work with those changes.
05/25/2016 v2016.05.25
- Output the residue letter and mass of any custom amino acids to the "MassTable" portion of the mzid.
- Update the URIs for the ontologies to their current locations (psi-ms.obo and unit.obo).
02/12/2016 v2016.02.12
- Ensure that ETciD and EThcD are handled as ETD when using a _dta.txt file with a _ScanType.txt file
01/29/2016 v2016.01.29
- Added ability to enter custom amino acids using the Mods.txt file.
01/21/2016 v2016.01.21
- Changed the versioning system - SVN revisions don't work for Git repositories. Now commit date is used for the version.
- Improve the overall progress reporting.
- Cause entire search to fail if a thread exits with a failure.
- Retention Time/Scan Start Time is now output to the mzid file for searches performed on mzML files, as long as the data is available.
07/16/2014 v10089
- Fixed a bug that crashes when C-term mod mass is below -57Da.
- Added a test that checks whether the output path is valid before processing the data.
06/30/2014 v10072
- Optimization for multithreaded performance.
- Several minor bug fixes.
02/10/2014 v9949
- New scoring parameters are added for HCD/Q-Exactive/Trypsin/TMT. Parameters for HCD/HighRes/Trypsin/TMT have also been changed. As a result, for HCD spectra of TMT peptides, the number of identifications has been significantly increased.
- MS-GF+ now automatically recognize "TMT6plex" in the modification file and change the protocol to TMT.
- For mzML files converted from Thermo raw data using msconvert, MS-GF+ now reads monoisotopic precursor m/z first from a user parameter ([Thermo Trailer Extra]Monoisotopic M/Z:) instead of the CvParam "MS:1000744".
- The maximum number of variable modifications (per peptide) is written to the mzIdentML output file.
- Previously MS-GF+ ignored spectra having less than 20 peaks for non-TOF spectra. Now it ignores spectra having less than 10 peaks.
08/28/2013 v9881
- Change in database indexing format. The index file keeps non-standard amino acids (characters other than 20 standard residue characters). Previously, non-standard amino acids were converted into ‘?’ while indexing. It caused a problem when converting mzid into pepXML using idconvert (ProteoWizard).
- Fixed a bug that creates duplicate PeptideEvidence items when more than one matches are reported for a spectrum (e.g. -n 10),
- Fixed a bug that crashes MS-GF+ when a modification makes the amino acid mass 0 or smaller (e.g. M-131).
08/28/2013 v9733
- Added parameters for CID-LowRes-NoCleavage.
- Misc bug fixes.
04/03/2013 v9517
- Previously separate SpectrumIdentificationItems were created for the same peptide if "pre" is different (e.g. R.SIPDSMNYGDEEENK and K.SIPDSMNYGDEEENK). Now they show up as the same SpectrumIdentificationItem. If the score is different due to different NTT (e.g. G.SIPDSMNYGDEEENK), a separate SpectrumIdentificationItem is created.
- Bug fix: falling into an infinite loop while reading an mzML file if it contains <binaryDataArray> of encodedLength="0"
04/03/2013 v9501
- Previously, spectra are ignored in the search if the number of peaks is less than 20 for all types spectra. Now, for TOF spectra (i.e. -inst 2), this number has been changed to 3.
04/02/2013 v9494
- The following features are added in the SpectrumIdentificationItem when "-addFeatures 1"
- MeanErrorAll: Mean of mass errors of explained fragment ion peaks
- StdevErrorAll: Standard deviation of mass errors of explained fragment ion peaks
- MeanErrorTop7: Mean of mass errors of 7 fragment ion peaks with highest intensities
- StdevErrorTop7: Standard deviation of mass errors of 7 fragment ion peaks with highest intensities
03/25/2013 v9436
- Added TMT scoring model for HCD/HighRes (-m 3 -inst 1)
- Bug fix: duplicate PeptideEvidence id in mzid output
- Bug fix: crashing while using user-trained scoring parameters
03/05/2013 v9324
- Added Q-Exactive unlabeled phosphorylation parameters
- Bug fix: recognizing ETD+SA spectra in mzML as CID
02/27/2013 v9324
- Minor bug fix: mistakenly assigning 3 mods to a N-term amino acid.
02/15/2013 v9312
- Added scoring parameter sets for Q-Exactive iTRAQ (-inst 3 -protocol 2) and iTRAQ phosphopeptide enriched (-inst 3 -protocol 3) samples.
02/15/2013 v9284
- When "-protocol" parameter is missing, MS-GF+ automatically selects an appropriate protocol depending on the modification file.
- In the mzid output, Enzyme has attributes "missedCleavages".
02/14/2013 v9249
- Scoring parameters for Q-Exactive (-inst 3) have been added.
02/04/2013 v9244
- A bug (crash with an exception) in edu.ucsd.msjava.ui.ScoringParamGen has been fixed.
01/03/2013 v9176
- "-ti" parameter accepts only two comma separated integers, i.e., "-ti 1" will be rejected.
- MzIDToTsv adds "Title" column to the tsv file if the input spectrum is the mgf format.
12/19/2012 v9107
- "No enzyme" (-e 1) was renamed to "unspecific cleavage".
- "No enzyme (peptidomics)" (-e 9) was renamed to "no cleavage".
- <Enzyme>...</Enzyme> in the mzid output now shows right CVs for -e 1 and -e 9.
- The following bug has been fixed
- Precursor errors are negated when MzIDToTsv was run.
- C-term specific modifications do not show up in result files.

- *.revConcat.fasta: decoy proteins have prefix "REV_" (used by MS-GFDB)
- *.revCat.fasta: decoy proteins have prefix "XXX_" (used by MS-GF+)
09/18/2012 v8472
- Bug fix: N-term or C-term residue-specific modifications (e.g. pyro-glu from Q) will have locations 1 (N-term) or length (C-term).
