Hi...

Since Matthew has been largely out-of-the-loop for a while,
the BioJava GUI das-client application has been rather neglected.

I've just put up a new snapshot release.  You can find it
in the directory:

   http://www.biojava.org/download/das-client/

Like earlier releases, this is an executable JAR file containing
all the code and libraries you need.  Just run it with:

   java -jar das-client.jar

Highlights since the last release:

  - First pass support for DAS stylesheets.  So you can now
    browse datasources where the feature types don't match
    the Ensembl reference server :-).

  - Various rendering glitches fixed.

  - Fixes to the behind-the-scenes network library, which should
    improve performance and interoperability.

If you do just want to browse the Ensembl data, Matthew's old
client release is still available.

   Thomas.
