Dear Biopythoneers,

Biopython 1.86 was released yesterday, files on PyPI as usual -
including Python 3.14 which is new:

https://pypi.org/project/biopython/1.86/

Release notes here:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/biopython-186/NEWS.rst

Many thanks to the other Biopython developers and community for making
this release possible, especially the following contributors happy to
be named:

Rachel Stern (first contribution)
Fabio Zanini
Michiel de Hoon
Oliver Wissett (first contribution)
Samuel Prince (first contribution)
Cassie Bastress (first contribution)

The realease process was not as smooth as I had hoped with a few
surprises like older machine images being retired, and less surprising
Python 3.14 needing updates to the wheel building setup:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/5062

Also, I had forgotten last time that the PDF version of the Tutorial
broke (this was previously working from RST to LaTeX via Sphinx), and
again I failed to get that to work. So, since a far as I recall no one
complained, we won't try that again next time and will be removing the
PDF links - see eg

https://github.com/biopython/biopython.github.io/issues/213

Thank you all,

Peter
