That documentation still needs doing, and it would be nice to have it
with Biopython 1.50.  If Bartek or Leighton expects to add anything in
the next few days, then I'd be happy to hold back the release for
that.  I'll try and do the SeqRecord stuff myself shortly.

There haven't been any problems with the beta reported, however there
is the issue of EFetch returning ASN.1 not genbank format (see my
earlier email) which I think we must resolve before Biopython 1.50 is
released.

Apart from these two points (documentation and EFetch), are there any
issues regarding doing the official release of Biopython 1.50?  I
think we can aim for a release this week...
