sourmash-bio/sourmash: v4.2.0

Description

This release adds several significant features: first, we've added a set of taxonomy command-line functionality for combining sourmash gather output with taxonomy databases, and we've also added a new "picklist" feature that enables flexible selection of subsets of databases. Finally, we've added manifests to databases to support picklists as well as faster database loading and signature selection.

As of this release, we've also formally moved development over to the sourmash-bio organization on GitHub, and we've created a new gitter support channel, sourmash-bio/community. Please join us there if you have any questions, comments, or feature requests!
