[GenABEL-dev] Question about a fix for bug #1432 (default strand in exported file)

[L.C. Karssen]

I've changed the default to "u" in SVN r761, and also updated the
CHANGES.LOG file so that we won't forget to mention it when releasing
the next version of GenABEL.

I agree that changing to "u" is good option, but it may be worth adding a few words into documentation to mention the fact that by default it is "u".
