Hi all,
some news from my side. The NWO Open Science grant is over now, for some months already, but most of the work is completed and we have a well-functioning updated BridgeDb Webservice [0]. New features include JSON support, built-in OpenAPI interface, and a greatly reduced size (<9MB, excluding data).
On the BridgeDb Java side a lot is happening too. During the NWO grant we factored out the webservice, and factoring out other extensions of the code library is planned. We will also undergo a transition in a key datasource, UniProtKB, and migrate to require at least Java 11.
To accommodate this, we will have a transition phase with various BridgeDb Java series (for as long as needed):
- BridgeDb Java 3.0.x: currently 3.0.23, and this will only see bug and security fixes
- BridgeDb Java 3.1.x: the UniProtKB update (3.1.0 was release today [1])
- BridgeDb Java 4.x: to be started soon requiring Java 11 and which will factor out extension
With kind regards,
Egon
