## Minor improvements

 * Allow configuring the cache busting behavior for adding random ?v= value
   to config file requests. This can be configured in index.html. Thanks to
   user <a href="https://github.com/sandilyaamit">@sandilyaamit</a> for reporting, this is actually important to disable
   when using Amazon presigned URLs (<a href="https://github.com/cmdcolin">@cmdcolin</a>)

 * Adds `fixBounds` config for XYPlot tracks which can be set to false to
   disable the behavior of rounding up or down on the min_score/max_score
   variables for the ruler. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/scottcain">@scottcain</a> for the suggestion
   (<a href="https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/pull/1306">issue #1306</a>, <a href="https://github.com/cmdcolin">@cmdcolin</a>)
