[Biopython-dev] Plans for Biopython 1.53

[Peter]

Hi all,

I would like us to do the Biopython 1.53 release this month.

We still have lots of new stuff that hasn't yet landed on the
trunk, but despite that, looking at the NEWS file we have
had plenty of improvements in the two months and a bit
since Biopython 1.52 was released:

http://biopython.open-bio.org/SRC/biopython/NEWS
http://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/master/NEWS

One good reason for doing Biopython 1.53 soon is the
NCBI said they plan to start using the new Jan 2010 DTD
files for MedLine/PubMed as early as mid December:

Any comments on how things stand on the trunk - is there
anything people think needs to be fixed before the release?

Thanks,

Peter
