[Bioperl-l] BioPerl 1.6.0 alpha 1 released

[Chris Fields]

All,

Just a quick note that I have released the first alpha for the 1.6.1  
point release.  I uploaded it to CPAN, so it should be migrating to  
the various servers in the next few hours or so.  In the meantime, the  
alpha can be directly downloaded using the following links (pick your  
format):

http://bioperl.org/DIST/RC/BioPerl-1.6.0_1.tar.bz2
http://bioperl.org/DIST/RC/BioPerl-1.6.0_1.tar.gz
http://bioperl.org/DIST/RC/BioPerl-1.6.0_1.zip

If everything goes well, I'll have a more formalized release ready for  
the weekend.  I will also be attempting (hopefully with some success)  
getting a Windows PPM for the latest ActiveState Perl going over the  
next few days.  Feedback from users trying to install BioPerl using  
the latest Strawberry Perl would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
