EMBL Release 98 building process has started

[Mikyung Jang]

Due to the immediate bug fix, we have begun the process of building
release 98 of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database on Friday 9th Jan
2009.

Daily updates:
For those who work with daily updates from the EBI ftp server (or mirror
sites) the last update file for release 98 is placed:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/r98u024.dat.gz
The subsequent update file will contain post-release 98 data and be named:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/r99u001.dat.gz

The cumulative update file in
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/cumulative.dat.gz (and cum_*
files)
will continue to grow with new data until release 98 is built and is
publicly available - we expect that to be around 26th Jan 2009.
