[EMBOSS] wEMBOSS-1.6.0 & wrappers4EMBOSS-1.4.0 release

[Martin Sarachu]

This is to announce the release of both wEMBOSS-1.6.0 and
wrappers4EMBOSS-1.4.0

Changes in wEMBOSS-1.6.0 includes:
  - compatibility with new datatypes in EMBOSS-3.0.0
  - better conversion of ACD expressions to Perl to maintain
the same order of priority as in EMBOSS
  - increased speed by preprocessing EMBOSS datafiles

Changes in wrappers4EMBOSS includes:
  - all programs that compute a gap penalty of type a*n+b now have
parameters -gappenalty and -gaplength instead of -gapopen and -gapextend
  - muscle version updated for MUSCLE-3.6
  - support for EMBOSS v2.9, 2.10 and 3. EMBOSS-2.8 is no longer supported
  - fastapid uses matrices coded in the software rather then read from files
  - indexsearch can also run with SRS 8 and it also fully runs on
command line

We are experiencing some dificulties at the wEMBOSS site so you can 
download both files at http://www.ar.embnet.org/downloads
Shortly you will be able to download both at http://www.wemboss.org as 
usual.
wEMBOSS includes wrappers4EMBOSS but if you want to use just
wrappers4EMBOSS on the command line just like any EMBOSS program you can
download it separately.


Regards,

the wEMBOSS & wrappers4EMBOSS dev team.
