[BioRuby] GSoC final report

[Artem Tarasov]

Hi all,

here's a wrap-up of what was added/fixed in sambamba and Ruby bindings
during the last couple of weeks:
http://lomereiter.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/gsoc-weekly-report-12/

* Tools don't require input files to be seekable anymore, allowing to work
with e.g. /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout
* I've added an option of MessagePack output, that drastically improved
speed of bindings (2-4x speedup depending on configuration)
* The gem is on Travis CI now, passing tests on MRI 1.9.2/1.9.3. (JRuby
also works, but on Travis there're problems with popen, same as with
BioRuby)
* The tool 'sambamba_filter' is now available on Galaxy Tool Shed.


It's been a great summer. Thank you OBF/BioRuby folks :)
