The issues with the goflat parser and Ontology.pm loading Graph.pm 
should be fixed. Due to lack of time I haven't been able yet to iron 
out the last wrinkles with the goperl-bridge I wrote, so .obo format is 
not yet supported. I'd really like this to be in 1.6.x though.

I guess you mean bioperl-db? Bioperl-db works with the CVS main trunk 
of bioperl, all tests pass when run against bioperl-live.

The overloads seem to work currently but generally make me feel uneasy 
because they can lead to very subtle and hard to track down bugs and 
should be earmarked for roll back. One could choose to ignore this 
though for 1.5.1 (as opposed to 1.6.x).

A comprehensive and authoritative set of tests for the SeqFeatureI API 
still needs to be written so that any future f*ups in this area are 
readily and immediately detected. This would then also be the set of 
tests that blesses (or holds up) the 1.6.0 release code. Again, 
although I gave it priority one could choose to ignore it for 1.5.1.
