[EMBOSS] announcing wEMBOSS version 2

[Guy Bottu]

	Dear users of wEMBOSS,

wEMBOSS has reached version 2. It has not much changed from the user's 
point of view but has changed substantially from the developer's and 
manager's point of view.

In order to make further development easier, the code has been refreshed 
and is now maintained as a project under Eclipse with Epic plug-in. The 
development version is called wEMBOSSDEV and from this releases for 
distribution with name wEMBOSSDIST-x.x.x are regularly drawn.

The new version does not anymore install its Perl libraries in the Perl 
system libraries. There was indeed no reason to do this, since the 
wEMBOSS libraries are not used by any other program. Storing them in a 
separate location makes it much easier to get rid of old versions, 
making sure they cannot interfere with newer versions.

We have stopped the habit of distributing wrappers4EMBOSS inside 
wEMBOSS, since there was little to be gained by doing so. The 2 packages 
are now simply presented as separate tar archives for download.

For the end user the main difference by now is that the included applets 
(Jalview for viewing multiple sequence alignments and ATV for viewing 
phylogenetic trees) have been upgraded to the latest version. Also, with 
the new version of wEMBOSS the Web Browser windows open in predetermined 
positions, making them better spread over the computer screen.

	Guy Bottu,
	wEMBOSS development team

P.S. For those who already downloaded version 2.1 : it turned out to 
contain a number of bugs. These have been fixed with version 2.1.1 of 23 
June, which you should definitively download.
