* Creating release 2.8 to be compatible with kraken-uniq output reports
* Fixing issue where non-unique genomes cause clade to be removed
* Reads at/below abundance level will not be redistributed
* Fixed README version number
* Adding error catches for est_abundance.py (check for Kraken default output/mpa report)
* Remove need for user to specify -w option when running the bracken script
* Fixing problems with generating the correct kmer distribution files
* Allow for non-ncbi taxonomy files (notably, root node does NOT have to be the first line in the nodes.dmp file anymore)
* Allow for non-traditional nodes for abundance estimation (e.g. abundance estimation of S1 taxons)
* Fixed generate_kmer_distrib.py script to use the taxid instead of the seqid in map file
* New Year
