[Bioperl-l] 1.0.2

I'd not be so optimistic at this point. I'm afraid putting bioperl-db and biosql to more use may instigate API changes at some places. It shouldn't be terrible though. Anyway, I'm just not sure yet we should close 1.0.x after 1.0.2.

I'm testing the Location::each_Location fix and commit in a second. Jason, do you have time to merge that to the branch (I'd have to download the entire branch; let me know), or is each_Location not in the branch anyway? If the latter is true, that means that bioperl-db is now incompatible with the 1.0.x branch. Hm. Should we branch bioperl-db then, too? Would be kind of difficult by now and involve some back-porting ...

Opinions?
