[Biojava-dev] numbering gaps vs elements

[Doug Rusch]

Thanks Matthew,

That sounds excellent - what other things are slated for V2? Is BJV2 being actively worked on or just under discussion now? If I am thinking about making contributions to BioJava should I be thinking BJV2 or BJV1?

Cheers,

Hi Doug,

Zero-based numbering of gaps is slated as one of the
incompattible changes we hope to introduce in biojava
V2. We can't realy change this on the biojava 1.*
series without either introducing silent
inconsistencies or breaking applications.
