Hello Francesco,

Thank you for using the khmer suite and for your questions.

The official GitHub repository for khmer is https://github.com/ged-lab/khmer.
The latest current release is v0.7.1. Our primary method for distribution
is via the Python Package Index ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/khmer )
using the `pip` command as documented in
http://khmer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

GitHub will present any branch or tag as a release. Titus's personal
repository has a branch named "protocols-v0.8.3" in reference to the
version of khmer-protocols not of the khmer project itself.

That would be our error. Supporting the new format is being tracked in this
GitHub issue: https://github.com/ged-lab/khmer/issues/23

What document where you looking at?
