[DAS] 1.6 specification release

[Andy Jenkinson]

The 1.6 specification is now online, and the BioDas homepage has been updated:
http://www.biodas.org/
http://www.biodas.org/wiki/DAS1.6
http://www.biodas.org/wiki/DAS_1.6_Migration

If you are a client or server developer, it'd be useful if you could fill in on the migration page any information you can regarding timescales for 1.6 support in your application.

Please let me know if you spot any links/text on the website erroneously referring to the old spec (or just edit it yourself).

Cheers,
Andy

This is due to happen on Tuesday 19th October (I will be away from now until the 18th). On this date, although future revisions to the specification text are possible, the meaning and functionality will be frozen. The BioDAS website will be updated and an information page will be in place to help developers of clients and servers deal with any version compatibility issues arising from the switchover. In particular a list of clients and projected dates for 1.6 support.
