Hi Andreas,

Based on the changelog I would say that you can skip the 2.0.13 release.

----------------------------------------------------
TopHat 2.0.13 release 10/2/2014
Version 2.0.13 is a maintenance release with the following changes:

    removed SAMtools as an external dependency in order to avoid
incompatibility issues with recent and future changes of SAMtools and its
code library (an older, stable SAMtools version is now packaged with
TopHat)

    fixed a few code compatibility issues when compiling on OSX 10.9
----------------------------------------------------

I wonder which versions of tophat/samtools are incompatible and why?

Best
-Dominique
