Hello everyone!

bcbio1.2.9 is out - thanks everyone who contributed to testing and bug fixing during the last month!

We were lucky enough to catch openssl1.1.1 > 3.0 upgrade (Sept 2021) which is pushed by many conda-forge packages.
In the result, the envs which were solving ok with bcbio1.2.8 and 1.2.9a (based on 1.2.8 recipe) won't solve in 1.2.9.
This issue was fixed by pinning openssl in the bioconda recipe:
https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/bcbio-nextgen/meta.yaml#L43

Due to the large reorganization of conda environments (#3538), direct updates 1.2.8 -> 1.2.9 are not possible.
Install 1.2.9 with --nodata instead, and link genomes from 1.2.8.
Note that snpeff is updated to 5.0 (#3570), the snpeff databases should be upgraded after bcbio installation,
for example, bcbio_nextgen.py upgrade -u skip --genomes hg38 will alter contents of genomes/Hsapiens/hg38/snpeff.

Let us know if you see any issues with 1.2.9!

Happy Holidays and Happy 2022!
