Bioperl 1.5.1 is finally released. This developer's release announcement lists many of the Changes The Dev release API is considered unstable and not deposited into CPAN, although this release has been quite extensively tested and should be API compatible with the 1.4 series which is on CPAN. I have also released the bioperl-run and bioperl-ext packages at the same time and they are versioned accordingly. The bioperl-db package will be released in the next month providing BioSQL implementation.

Some stupid statistics about this release: 801 modules of ~330k lines of module code/documentation, 61 scripts, 11 HOWTOs, 10k tests, 100+ AUTHORS.
