Hi all
This is a small release that adds a fix for side-scrolling on Macs, where the touchpad would trigger the browsers back action.

*   [JBrowse-1.16.6.zip](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/releases/download/1.16.6-release/JBrowse-1.16.6.zip) - minified release
*   [JBrowse-1.16.6-dev.zip](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/archive/1.16.6-release.zip) - use this if you modify jbrowse source code or use plugins
*   [JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-win32-x64.zip](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/releases/download/1.16.6-release/JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-win32-x64.zip)
*   [JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-linux-x64.zip](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/releases/download/1.16.6-release/JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-linux-x64.zip)
*   [JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-darwin-x64.zip](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/releases/download/1.16.6-release/JBrowse-1.16.6-desktop-darwin-x64.zip)




## Minor improvements

 * Add name regularization for drosophila style chromsome naming so that
   2L maps to chr2L and vice versa (<a href="https://github.com/scottcain">@scottcain</a>)

 * Add ability to index names in a BEDTabix file, enabled by default.
   Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/billzt">@billzt</a> for the idea and implementation (<a href="https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/pull/1393">issue #1393</a>)

## Bug fixes

 * Fix the side scrolling on Mac misbehaving and triggering the browser's
   back action (a bug that existed only in 1.16.5). Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/nathandunn">@nathandunn</a>
   for debugging (<a href="https://github.com/gmod/jbrowse/issues/1397">issue #1397</a>)
