 # Changelog
 
-## [1.0.5] - 2024-01-XX
+## [1.0.6] - 2024-11-XX
 
 ### Added
 - include as default `dsb` ambient protein background correction for ADT counts, for experiments without hashing deconvolution
 
+## [1.0.5] - 2024-10-09 
+- removed `SeqRunName` variable, as it is not needed by cellranger anymore
+
 ## [1.0.4] - 2023-09-19

 With one line per set of samples
 
 - `sample` contains the sample identifier that is used throughout the pipeline
 - `HashingFile` contains the full path to the comma separated text file containing the hashtag barcodes and their assignment to individual sample names (see [HashingFile](#hashingfile)).
-- `SeqRunName` corresponds to the sequencing sample name of the ADT sample; this parameter is only required for the Cellranger run of ADT data. It can be retrieved from the FASTQ file names as follows:
-
-```
-[SeqRunName]_S[Number]_L00[Lane Number]_[Read Type]_001.fastq.gz
-```
-
-Where Read Type is one of: I1, R1, R2.
 
 - `nTargetCells` corresponds to the number of targeted cells for the sample.
 - `featureReferenceFile` corresponds to the ADT feature reference file for the sample set. For further information please consult the Cellranger tool documentation.
