The software remains freely available, but is no longer under active development by the original authors. There is no guarantee of support or that any emails to the authors will be answered (not that there ever was such a guarantee!). Bugs can be reported to the github issue tracker but will not be fixed by the software’s original authors.

Downloading Mauve

Mauve is free of charge, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL.

The most recent release of Mauve was version 2.4.0, released on December 21st 2014. The 2.x release series incorporates an accurate new alignment algorithm called progressiveMauve. For a more comprehensive list of changes and new features, see the Mauve version history. Unfortunately the 2.4.0 release has a buggy interaction with the boost C++ libraries that causes frequent crashes, therefore it is suggested that the development snapshots linked below be used until the next release. Mauve 2.4.0 can still be found in the release archive linked below.
