-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all.
BioJava 1.5 has been released and is available for download from our website at http://biojava.org/ Thanks to everyone who has made contributions, and in particular to those who have spent many hours testing our new file parsers with every combination of scenarios under the sun. In addition to numerous bugfixes and enhancements, the highlights of this release are brand new parsers for the most common file formats (GenBank, Fasta, etc.), and a brand new BioSQL persistence layer that uses Hibernate to interact with sequence databases. There is also a new set of classes for creating genetic algorithms. These are all part of the new org.biojavax package which represents extensions to BioJava that would not fit easily into the existing package structure. The classes in org.biojavax mostly extend and improve on existing classes which could not be removed or replaced in order to maintain compatibility with older code. As usual if anyone finds any bugs in this release, please do report them to us using the BugZilla tool at http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/ Please also note that this will be the last release of BioJava that will be able to compile and run on Java 1.4. The next release (1.6) will move at least to Java 5 or maybe straight to Java 6 (decision not yet made). cheers, Richard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGcA3S4C5LeMEKA/QRAkKtAJwObiJa6cUpWAlS91z7T66MrEMW3gCeNBvr ei4DldeopmvwE5HzsPN/iR4= =VGAl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
