Revision history for Bioperl core modules (from the Changes file)
0.05 Sun Apr 25 01:14:11 1999
- Bio::Tools::Blast modules have less memory problems
and faster parsing. Webblast uses LWP and supports
more functionality. See Bio/Tools/Blast/CHANGES for more.
- The Bio::SeqIO system has been started, moving the
sequence reformatting code out of the sequence object
- The Bio::Index:: system has been started, providing
generic index capabilities and specifically works for
Fasta formatted databases and EMBL .dat formatted
databases
- The Bio::DB:: system started, providing access to
databases, both via flat file + index (see above) and
via http to NCBI
- The scripts/ directory, where industrial strength scripts
are put has been started.
- Many changes - a better distribution all round.
