I'll keep that in mind - when were you thinking of doing that? I was
thinking of doing the release on Monday or Tuesday (as I travel on
the Friday, and have to prepare my slides etc).

Yeah - but this is a bit of a special case. Given we will be having a
tutorial session and a hackathon session at BOSC, having people
using a Biopython 1.51 beta release should ensure some useful
feedback (even if it is just documentation improvements) which
would make Biopython 1.51 that much better.

I am also a *little* nervous that there could be something amiss in
the new GenBank feature location writing (despite the test coverage),
and doing the beta release first would put my mind more at ease on
this area.
