[Open-bio-l] [BioRuby] Fwd: [blast-announce] New Version of BLAST XML output

[Peter Cock]

Hi Chris,

Yes, that was worrying me - it does sound like given a query
file of 1000 sequences we might be given 1000 individual
XML files and an xinclude overview :(

As you say, example files ought to clarify this - which for
now look to be available via the web BLAST (and perhaps
we can built the latest pre-release BLAST+ from their repo?)

CC'ing the cross-project list rather than just BioRuby.
