Updating to biopython-1.45, which was released March 22, 2008. === biopython-1.47 === Updating to biopython-1.47, which was released July 5, 2008. === biopython-1.49b === Updating to biopython-1.49beta, which was released November 7, 2008. === biopython-1.51b === Updating to biopython-1.51beta, which was released June 23rd, 2009. === biopython-1.51 === Updating to biopython-1.51, which was released August 17, 2009. Biopython has eliminated several dependencies such as Numeric and mx-text-tools, so this is now easier to install and maintain. === biopython-1.52 === Updating to biopython-1.52, which was released September 22, 2009. Main improvements were to alignment and sequence file conversion, population genetics statistics, and the Bio.SeqIO.indexed_dict() for handling large numbers of sequences. Add a patch to Bio/Wise/__init__.py to skip the doctest. This test fails during the install when using 'sage -i' and SAGE_CHECK="yes". === biopython-1.53 === Updating to biopython-1.53, which was released December 15th, 2009.
