bioperl: update to 1.7.7.

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.

1.7.6     2019-08-28 12:37:01+01:00 Europe/London

    * The program bp_classify_hits_kingdom has been removed and is
      now part of the examples documentation instead.

    * GD is now listed as a suggestion instead of a requirement.  The
      bp_chaos_plot program will now work with the GD module.

    * New method Bio::Tree::Statistics::transfer_bootstrap_expectation
      to compute Transfer Bootstrap Expectation (TBE) for internal
      nodes based on the methods outlined in Lemoine et al, Nature,
      2018.

    * New method Bio::SeqIO::fasta::next_seq_fast to retrieve next
      sequence in the stream faster but not perfect.

1.7.5     2019-02-11 14:57:45+00:00 Europe/London

    * The following modules have been removed from the BioPerl
      distribution to be part of a separate distribution with
      independent development:

          Bio::Symbol::*

    * The Bio::Seq::SeqWithQuality module, which was deprecated since
      2001, was finally removed.

    * The deprecated() method has been deprecated.  It is recommended
      to use Carp::carp to warn.

    * The following methods have been deprecated for a long while and
      have now been removed:

          Bio::Align::AlignI->no_residues
          Bio::Align::AlignI->no_sequences
          Bio::LocatableSeq->no_gap
          Bio::LocatableSeq->no_sequences
          Bio::SeqFeature::Generic->slurp_gff_file
          Bio::SimpleAlign->no_residues
          Bio::SimpleAlign->no_sequences

1.7.4     2019-02-05 16:23:53+00:00 Europe/London

    * Fix Bio::Root::Test, and the testuite, to properly check for
      internet connection and the NO_NETWORK_TESTING environment
      variable.  Previously, tests that required internet connection
      were not being skipped, causing tests to fail.

1.7.3     2019-01-30 13:30:34+00:00 Europe/London

    * The following modules have been removed from the BioPerl
      distribution to be part of a separate distribution.  They have
      been integrated into other module distributions for independent
      development:

    * The following modules are new in the BioPerl distribution.  They
      have been previously released in the BioPerl-Run distribution.
      This will enable smaller distributions that provide a
      Bio::Tool::Run interface, to be only dependent on the BioPerl
      distribution instead of the whole (very large) BioPerl-Run:

          Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis
          Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory
          Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PhyloBase
          Bio::Tools::Run::WrapperBase
          Bio::Tools::Run::WrapperBase::CommandExts

    * The following programs have been removed:

          bp_biofetch_genbank_proxy
          bp_blast2tree
          bp_bulk_load_gff
          bp_composite_LD
          bp_das_server
          bp_download_query_genbank
          bp_fast_load_gff
          bp_flanks
          bp_genbank2gff
          bp_generate_histogram
          bp_heterogeneity_test
          bp_hivq
          bp_hmmer_to_table
          bp_load_gff
          bp_meta_gff
          bp_netinstall
          bp_parse_hmmsearch
          bp_process_wormbase
          bp_query_entrez_taxa
          bp_remote_blast
          bp_seqfeature_delete
          bp_seqfeature_gff3
          bp_seqfeature_load

      separate distributions, the following modules are no longer
      prerequisites:

          Test::RequiresInternet

    * The deobfuscator has been removed.

    * The emacs bioperl minor mode is no longer distributed as part of the
      perl module distributions.  See
