Dear Debian-Med, and Andreas in particular,

This is to let you know we've released Biopython 1.68, and would
be grateful if you could update the Debian Biopython package:

I'm not aware of any changes which will directly affect the
packaging, however minor issues have come to light with
some of the third party binary tests using PAML:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/923

And PhyML:

https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/921
https://github.com/stephaneguindon/phyml/issues/38

As usual, if you do find any other issues, especially from changes
to the tool we test with, we're happy to get your useful feedback.

Thank you,

Peter

Dear Biopythoneers,

Source distributions and Windows installers for Biopython 1.68 are now
available from the downloads page on the official Biopython website,
and the release is also on the Python Package Index (PyPI).

http://biopython.org/wiki/Download
https://news.open-bio.org/2016/08/26/biopython-1-68-released/

This release of Biopython supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, but
this will be our final release to run on Python 2.6. It has also been tested
on PyPy 5.0, PyPy3 version 2.4, and Jython 2.7.

Bio.PDB has been extended to parse the RSSB's new binary Macromolecular
Transmission Format (MMTF, see http://mmtf.rcsb.org), in addition to the
mmCIF and PDB file formats (contributed by Anthony Bradley). This requires
an optional external dependency on the mmtf-python library.

Module Bio.pairwise2 has been re-written (contributed by Markus Piotrowski).
It is now faster, addresses some problems with local alignments, and also
now allows gap insertions after deletions, and vice versa, inspired by the
http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/031500 preprint from Flouri et al.

The two sample graphical tools SeqGui (Sequence Graphical User Interface)
and xbbtools were rewritten (SeqGui) or updated (xbbtools) using the tkinter
library (contributed by Markus Piotrowski). SeqGui allows simple nucleotide
transcription, back-transcription and translation into amino acids using
Bio.Seq internally, offering of the NCBI genetic codes supported in Biopython.
xbbtools is able to open Fasta formatted files, does simple nucleotide
operations and translations in any reading frame using one of the NCBI genetic
codes. In addition, it supports standalone Blast installations to do local
Blast searches.

New NCBI genetic code table 26 (Pachysolen tannophilus Nuclear Code)
has been added to Bio.Data (and the translation functionality), and table 11
is now also available under the alias Archaeal.

In line with NCBI website changes, Biopython now uses HTTPS rather than
HTTP to connect to the NCBI Entrez and QBLAST API.

Additionally, a number of small bugs have been fixed with further additions
to the test suite, and there has been further work to follow the Python PEP8
and best practice standard coding style.

Many thanks to the Biopython developers and community for making this
release possible, especially the following contributors:

Anthony Bradley (first contribution)
Ben Fulton (Python 3.5 Windows buildings coming soon)
Carlos Pena
Connor T. Skennerton
Iddo Friedberg
Kai Blin
Kristian Davidsen (first contribution)
Markus Piotrowski
Olivier Morelle (first contribution)
Peter Cock
Tiago Antao
Travis Wrightsman
Uwe Schmitt (first contribution)
Xiaoyu Zhuo (first contribution)

Thank you all.
