- Update to version 1.74
  * Our core sequence objects (``Seq``, ``UnknownSeq``, and ``MutableSeq``) now
    have a string-like ``.join()`` method.
  * The NCBI now allows longer accessions in the GenBank file LOCUS line, meaning
    the fields may not always follow the historical column based positions. We
    no longer give a warning when parsing these. We now allow writing such files
    (although with a warning as support for reading them is not yet widespread).
  * Support for the ``mysqlclient`` package, a fork of MySQLdb, has been added.
  * We now capture the IDcode field from PDB Header records.
  * ``Bio.pairwise2``'s pretty-print output from ``format_alignment`` has been
    optimized for local alignments: If they do not consist of the whole sequences,
    only the aligned section of the sequences are shown, together with the start
    positions of the sequences (in 1-based notation). Alignments of lists will now
    also be prettily printed.
  * ``Bio.SearchIO`` now supports parsing the text output of the HHsuite protein
    sequence search tool. The format name is ``hhsuite2-text`` and
    ``hhsuite3-text``, for versions 2 and 3 of HHsuite, respectively.
  * ``Bio.SearchIO`` HSP objects has a new attribute called ``output_index``. This
    attribute is meant for capturing the order by which the HSP were output in the
    parsed file and is set with a default value of -1 for all HSP objects. It is
    also used for sorting the output of ``QueryResult.hsps``.
  * ``Bio.SeqIO.AbiIO`` has been updated to preserve bytes value when parsing. The
    goal of this change is make the parser more robust by being able to extract
    string-values that are not utf-8-encoded. This affects all tag values, except
    for ID and description values, where they need to be extracted as strings
    to conform to the ``SeqRecord`` interface. In this case, the parser will
    attempt to decode using ``utf-8`` and fall back to the system encoding if that
    fails. This change affects Python 3 only.
  * ``Bio.motifs.mast`` has been updated to parse XML output files from MAST over
    the plain-text output file. The goal of this change is to parse a more
    structured data source with minimal loss of functionality upon future MAST
    releases. Class structure remains the same plus an additional attribute
    ``Record.strand_handling`` required for diagram parsing.
  * ``Bio.Entrez`` now automatically retries HTTP requests on failure. The
    maximum number of tries and the sleep between them can be configured by
    changing ``Bio.Entrez.max_tries`` and ``Bio.Entrez.sleep_between_tries``.
    (The defaults are 3 tries and 15 seconds, respectively.)
  * All tests using the older print-and-compare approach have been replaced by
    unittests following Python's standard testing framework.
  * On the documentation side, all the public modules, classes, methods and
    functions now have docstrings (built in help strings). Furthermore, the PDF
    version of the *Biopython Tutorial and Cookbook* now uses syntax coloring
    for code snippets.
  * Additionally, a number of small bugs and typos have been fixed with further
    additions to the test suite, and there has been further work to follow the
    Python PEP8, PEP257 and best practice standard coding style.

- Update to version 1.73
  * As in recent releases, more of our code is now explicitly available under
    either our original "Biopython License Agreement", or the very similar but
    more commonly used "3-Clause BSD License".  See the ``LICENSE.rst`` file for
    more details.
  * The dictionary-like indexing in SeqIO and SearchIO will now explicitly preserve
    record order to match a behaviour change in the Python standard dict object.
    This means looping over the index will load the records in the on-disk order,
    which will be much faster (previously it would be effectively at random, based
    on the key hash sorting).
  * The "grant" matrix in Bio.SubsMat.MatrixInfo has been replaced as our original
    values taken from Gerhard Vogt's old webpages at EMBL Heidelberg were
    discovered to be in error. The new values have been transformed following
    Vogt's approach, taking the global maximum 215 minus the similarity scores
    from the original paper Grantham (1974), to give a distance measure.
  * Additionally, a number of small bugs and typos have been fixed with further
    additions to the test suite, and there has been further work to follow the
    Python PEP8, PEP257 and best practice standard coding style.
  * Double-quote characters in GenBank feature qualifier values in ``Bio.SeqIO``
    are now escaped as per the NCBI standard. Improperly escaped values trigger a
    warning on parsing.
  * There is a new command line wrapper for the BWA-MEM sequence mapper.
  * The string-based FASTA parsers in ``Bio.SeqIO.FastaIO`` have been optimised,
    which also speeds up parsing FASTA files using ``Bio.SeqIO.parse()``.
- Update to version 1.72
  * Internal changes to Bio.SeqIO have sped up the SeqRecord .format method and
    SeqIO.write (especially when used in a for loop).
  * The MAF alignment indexing in Bio.AlignIO.MafIO has been updated to use
    inclusive end co-ordinates to better handle searches at end points. This
    will require you to rebuild any existing MAF index files.
  * In this release more of our code is now explicitly available under either our
    original "Biopython License Agreement", or the very similar but more commonly
    used "3-Clause BSD License".  See the ``LICENSE.rst`` file for more details.
  * The Entrez module now supports the NCBI API key. Also you can now set a custom
    directory for DTD and XSD files. This allows Entrez to be used in environments
    like AWS Lambda, which restricts write access to specific directories.
    Improved support for parsing NCBI Entrez XML files that use XSD schemas.
  * Internal changes to our C code mean that NumPy is no longer required at
    compile time - only at run time (and only for those modules which use NumPy).
  * Seq, UnknownSeq, MutableSeq and derived classes now support integer
    multiplication methods, matching native Python string methods.
  * A translate method has been added to Bio.SeqFeature that will extract a
    feature and translate it using the codon_start and transl_table qualifiers
    of the feature if they are present.
  * Bio.SearchIO is no longer considered experimental, and so it does not raise
    warnings anymore when imported.
  * A new pairwise sequence aligner is available in Bio.Align, as an alternative
    to the existing pairwise sequence aligner in Bio.pairwise2.

- Update to version 1.71
  * Encoding issues have been fixed in several parsers when reading data files
    with non-ASCII characters, like accented letters in people's names. This would
    raise ``UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ...`` under some
    system locale settings.
  * Bio.KEGG can now parse Gene files.
  * The multiple-sequence-alignment object used by Bio.AlignIO etc now supports
    a per-column annotation dictionary, useful for richly annotated alignments
    in the Stockholm/PFAM format.
  * The SeqRecord object now has a translate method, following the approach used
    for its existing reverse_complement method etc.
  * The output of function ``format_alignment`` in ``Bio.pairwise2`` for displaying
    a pairwise sequence alignment as text now indicates gaps and mis-matches.
  * Bio.SeqIO now supports reading and writing two-line-per-record FASTA files
    under the format name "fasta-2line", useful if you wish to work without
    line-wrapped sequences.
  * Bio.PDB now contains a writer for the mmCIF file format, which has been the
    standard PDB archive format since 2014. This allows structural objects to be
    written out and facilitates conversion between the PDB and mmCIF file formats.
  * Bio.Emboss.Applications has been updated to fix a wrong parameter in fuzznuc
    wrapper and include a new wrapper for fuzzpro.
  * The restriction enzyme list in Bio.Restriction has been updated to the
    November 2017 release of REBASE.
  * New codon tables 27-31 from NCBI (NCBI genetic code table version 4.2) 
    were added to Bio.Data.CodonTable. Note that tables 27, 28 and 31 contain
    no dedicated stop codons; the stop codons in these codes have a context
    dependent encoding as either STOP or as amino acid. 
  * In this release more of our code is now explicitly available under either our
    original "Biopython License Agreement", or the very similar but more commonly
    used "3-Clause BSD License".  See the ``LICENSE.rst`` file for more details.
  * IO functions such as ``SeqIO.parse`` now accept any objects which can be passed
    to the builtin ``open`` function. Specifically, this allows using
    ``pathlib.Path`` objects under Python 3.6 and newer, as per `PEP 519
    <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/>`_.
  * Bio.SearchIO can now parse InterProScan XML files.
  * For Python 3 compatibility, comparision operators for the entities within a
    Bio.PDB Structure object were implemented. These allow the comparison of
    models, chains, residues, and atoms with the common operators  (==, !=, >, ...)
    Comparisons are based on IDs and take the parents of the entity up to the
    model level into account. For consistent behaviour of all entities the operators
    for atoms were modified to also consider the parent IDs. NOTE: this represents a
    change in behaviour in respect to v1.70 for Atom comparisons. In order to mimic
    the behaviour of previous versions, comparison will have to be done for Atom IDs
    and alternative locations specifically.
  * Additionally, a number of small bugs and typos have been fixed with further
    additions to the test suite, and there has been further work to follow the
    Python PEP8, PEP257 and best practice standard coding style.
- Update to version 1.70
  * Biopython now has a new logo, contributed by Patrick Kunzmann. Drawing on our
    original logo and the current Python logo, this shows a yellow and blue snake
    forming a double helix.
  * For installation Biopython now assumes ``setuptools`` is present, and takes
    advantage of this to declare we require NumPy at install time (except under
    Jython). This should help ensure ``pip install biopython`` works smoothly.
  * Bio.AlignIO now supports Mauve's eXtended Multi-FastA (XMFA) file format
    under the format name "mauve" (contributed by Eric Rasche).
  * Bio.ExPASy was updated to fix fetching PROSITE and PRODOC records, and return
    text-mode handles for use under Python 3.
  * Two new arguments for reading and writing blast-xml files have been added
    to the Bio.SearchIO functions (read/parse and write, respectively). They
    are 'use_raw_hit_ids' and 'use_raw_query_ids'. Check out the relevant
    SearchIO.BlastIO documentation for a complete description of what these
    arguments do.
  * Bio.motifs was updated to support changes in MEME v4.11.4 output.
  * The Bio.Seq sequence objects now have a ``.count_overlap()`` method to
    supplement the Python string like non-overlap based ``.count()`` method.
  * The Bio.SeqFeature location objects can now be compared for equality.
  * Bio.Phylo.draw_graphviz is now deprecated. We recommend using Bio.Phylo.draw
    instead, or another library or program if more advanced plotting functionality
    is needed.
  * In Bio.Phylo.TreeConstruction, the DistanceMatrix class (previously
    _DistanceMatrix) has a new method 'format_phylip' to write Phylip-compatible
    distance matrix files (contributed by Jordan Willis).
  * 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,
    PEP257 and best practice standard coding style.

- Implement single-spec version
- Fix source URL.
- updated to version 1.69
  * We now expect and take advantage of NumPy under PyPy, and compile most of the
    Biopython C code modules as well.
  * Bio.AlignIO now supports the UCSC Multiple Alignment Format (MAF) under the
    format name "maf", using new module Bio.AlignIO.MafIO which also offers
    indexed access to these potentially large files using SQLite3 (contributed by
    Andrew Sczesnak, with additional refinements from Adam Novak).
  * Bio.SearchIO.AbiIO has been extended to support parsing FSA files. The
    underlying format (ABIF) remains the same as AB1 files and so the string
    'abif' is the expected format argument in the main SeqIO functions. AbiIO
    determines whether the file is AB1 or FSA based on the presence of specific
    tags.
  * The Uniprot parser is now able to parse "submittedName" elements in XML files.
  * The NEXUS parser handling of internal node comments has been improved, which
    should help if working with tools like the BEAST TreeAnnotator. Slashes are
    now also allowed in identifiers.
  * New parser for ExPASy Cellosaurus, a cell line database, cell line catalogue,
    and cell line ontology (contributed by Steve Marshall).
  * For consistency the Bio.Seq module now offers a complement function (already
    available as a method on the Seq and MutableSeq objects).
  * The SeqFeature object's qualifiers is now an explicitly ordered dictionary
    (note that as of Python 3.6 the Python dict is ordered by default anyway).
    This helps reproduce GenBank/EMBL files on input/output.
  * The Bio.SeqIO UniProt-XML parser was updated to cope with features with
    unknown locations which can be found in mass spec data.
  * The Bio.SeqIO GenBank, EMBL, and IMGT parsers now record the molecule type
    from the LOCUS/ID line explicitly in the record.annotations dictionary.
    The Bio.SeqIO EMBL parser was updated to cope with more variants seen in
    patent data files, and the related IMGT parser was updated to cope with
    IPD-IMGT/HLA database files after release v3.16.0 when their ID line changed.
    The GenBank output now uses colon space to match current NCBI DBLINK lines.
  * The Bio.Affy package supports Affymetrix version 4 of the CEL file format,
    in addition to version 3.
  * The restriction enzyme list in Bio.Restriction has been updated to the
    February 2017 release of REBASE.
  * Bio.PDB.PDBList now can download PDBx/mmCif (new default), PDB (old default),
    PDBML/XML and mmtf format protein structures.  This is inline with the RCSB
    recommendation to use PDBx/mmCif and deprecate the PDB file format. Biopython
    already has support for parsing mmCif files.
  * 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,
    PEP257 and best practice standard coding style.
