+ Version 0.6.4 [December 19th, 2017] Add more fields to INFO column, SAF and SAR
  Version 0.6.3 [February 19th, 2014] Clearer text on usage of -P option
  Version 0.6.2 [December 12th, 2014] Now robust against fasta files that have non-standard line lengths (C++'s getline does not work well on lines of over a million characters)
  Version 0.6.1 [December 12th, 2014] Now has special code to recognize lines that contain SV-data, instead of relying on indirect establishment of their identity from context
