New in ChromasPro 2.1.0 (Oct 15, 2016)
- The order of sequences in the contig editor can be rearranged.
- Fixed a glitch in the drawing of color buttons in the 64-bit version color settings dialog box.

New in ChromasPro 2.0.0 (Oct 15, 2016)
- A reference sequence can be used as a scaffold for sequence assembly. This helps with assembling short reads from next-generation technologies
- More options are available for editing assembled alignments, including end-trimming of aligned sequences and the consensus, removal of any sequence, and splitting of the alignment into two or more contigs
- The alignment display is easier on the eyes, with a dot replacing each base that matches the consensus. The old style display is also available
- The software can highlight putative point/frameshift and heterozygous mutations in the alignment
- Uses the unicode character set for internationalization
- Performance of the assembly engine is increased significantly
- Many improvements to the user interface and functionality
New in ChromasPro 1.9.9.1 Beta (Apr 12, 2016)
- This version is a major rewrite of the software and has several enhancements:
- A reference sequence can be used as a scaffold for sequence assembly. This helps with assembling short reads from next-generation technologies.
