yep - he just wanted to be able to reset the iterator - (after i fixed the
silly blastn parsing bug).

yeah - and can we agree the BPlite is in the twilight - we'll plan to
provide bug fixes on BPlite but development effort will be focused on
SearchIO unless someone REALLY wants to be its maintainer.

There are 26 bugs in the queue some of them are not going to get done in
this releae I suspect, but many of them are straightforward. Would be nice
to take a look and see what can get fixed.


The highlights of what is in the queue, volunteers needed to test and fix
these bugs.  Your contribution could just be to provide a reproduceable
script (and datafile where needed) for the bug.


Cross-Platform / Execing programs
* (966) Tools::Run::Alignment modules
* Platform dependent issues (906) Mac and (1052) Windows+Clustalw.  Not
  sure I want to fix 1052 as suggested.
* (986) Tempfiles and cleanup - do we want to do a migratio to IO::File
        from File::Temp???

SeqFeatures
* (992) Sub dividing a seqeunce (trunc) and remapping the
        seqfeature
        coordinates -- what happens to fuzzies....  we should probably
        support this by making new fuzzies - this was consensus at
        hackathon.
* (1038) - the Bio::SeqFeature::Gene objects may have a bug?

SeqIO
* (876) decide if we want to do any PIR support - the module had been
  updated, not sure it is completely compliant.
* (987) SCF bug which should be gone with Chad's new implementation
* (1000) - EMBL bug that is fixed on main-branch - can we remove (are we
           ever going to do another 0.7 series release?)
* (1043,1062,1068,1069) genbank parsing, (1071) swissprot writing
  [ I tested 1043 and it is definitely there]
  Are we really writing in the new GenBank format - can we really parse
  the new genbank format properly?
  I also may have lost Emmanuel's bug wrt to SwissProt unless Allen fixed
  it in his SwissProt.

Misc

* (1039) - Misc. Bio::Tools::SeqPattern bug - is it really a bug?
* (1014) - anyone use the Restriction Enzyme pkg and want to check this
           out?

Analysis Result parsing /SearchIO
* (1034) - possible HMMer parsing bug (are we going to move HMMer parsing
           into SearchIO for 1.0?)
* (1025) - BPlite parsing issues, BPlite out of memory issues (1039) -
           probably due to tempfile issues with File::Temp
* (1063) - SearchIO blast parsing an empty report - may be fixed already
           - just need a tester?
