Convert Vcf3.3 To 4.0

Question

[Zach Stednick]

Is there a way to convert VCF3.3 to VCF4.0? I was thinking of manually adjusting the headers since that is all that appears to be different and was hoping to avoid re-creating the VCFs if I did not have to.

A conversion script is provided as part of vcftools. See the announcement on the webpage here or here
