[Bioperl-l] BioPerl v1.6.920

[Fields, Christopher J]

Ahem.  Quick addendum: 

As a bit of time has passed since we originally intended to make a new release, I forgot that (in that time period) Carnë Draug had released a split-out version of Bio::Biblio to CPAN this past March.  

Unfortunately that release (v1.7) appears to have version collisions with this one (v.1.6.910); therefore I'm packaging a new point release (v1.6.920) that removes Bio::Biblio to prevent this.  That has now been uploaded to CPAN and should be available shortly.

Apologies everyone!
