+# [0.9.0] (16 Dec 2024)
+
+This major release of Dorado introduces several new features and enhancements. The `polish` command, currently experimental, is optimised for refining draft assemblies of human genomes. This release also adds faster DNA modification calling models and improved 6mA false positive rate (FPR) in native human samples. Barcode demultiplexing accuracy has been significantly enhanced for kits with barcodes at both ends, including `SQK-NBD114`. Note that using custom barcode kits now requires the `--kit-name` option. A feature has been added to enable running `dorado correct` in blocks, allowing work to be divided into smaller pieces for easy submission to a compute cluster. Additional updates include the `qs` tag for mean basecall Q-scores in FASTQ output, an upgrade to POD5 to support systems with large page sizes, improvements to Poly(A) tail length estimation, and various bug fixes to enhance stability and functionality.
