+- updated to 1.7.7
+   see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-BioPerl/Changes
+
+  1.7.7     2019-12-07 13:41:36-06:00 America/Chicago
+  
+      * The program bp_chaos_plot has been removed.
+  
+      * GD is now no longer a dependency, suggestion or requirement.
+  
+      * #321 - GenBank format fix for un-quoted features, text wrapping
+  
+      * Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery now includes methods for delay(), delay_policy(),
+        and a 'private' _sleep() function that mirror those from
+        Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI, primarily for compliance with potential website
+        restrictions for the number and frequency of queries (e.g. NCBI eUtils).
+        
+      * Fix bug #329, related to Bio::Tree::Statistics::transfer_bootstrap_expectation
+        in last release.
