Thanks Bow - I don't think the WordPress blog understands
markdown style markup, but bonus marks anyway :)

I'm about to update the tar-ball and zip file to include the
NEWS file updated with the two names Bow spotted as
missing - hopefully there are no more and this commit
will get the release tag:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/73f8483f23910c8205cd9a4ff1283f2747d4f4ff

(The Windows installers I prepared earlier should not be
affected as they don't include the NEWS file)

I'd be a bit more explicit:

Specifically, this is supported under Python 3.3. Older
versions of Python 3 may still work albeit with some
issues, but are *not* supported.

Minor typo, needs a for/of, e.g.

Please note that this release marks our last official support for
Python 2.5

Thanks Bow,
