[Bioperl-l] [ANNOUCEMENT] BioPerl 1.6 RC3

[Scott Cain]

Hi Chris,

I had really hoped to have Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::DBI::Pg working
by the release of 1.6, but it will have to wait for a point release at
some time in the near future.  I can't get it to pass tests, so please
remove it from the 1.6 release.

Scott
