Release of JSBML-1.4

[Nicolas Rodriguez]

We are pleased to announce the release of JSBML-1.4, which is now available for download from GitHub (https://github.com/sbmlteam/jsbml/releases/tag/jsbml-1.4).

JSBML is a community-driven project to create a free, open-source, pure Java library for reading, writing, and manipulating SBML files and data streams. It is an alternative to the mixed Java/native code-based interface provided in libSBML.

For more details, please visit the JSBML project home page:

The main new feature  in this release is the development of the offline validator. We also wrote some converters that transform COBRA SBML documents into the SBML Level 3 Flux Balance Constraints (fbc) version 1 and version 2 package. Some progress were made on the offline validator, you can get a detailed report of what is left to be done in a separate wiki page (https://github.com/sbmlteam/jsbml/wiki/Offline-validator-status).

You can find a detailed list of the user-visible new features and bug fixes on the NEWS file at https://github.com/sbmlteam/jsbml/blob/jsbml-1.4/NEWS.md.

Thank you for your interest and support of JSBML and SBML in general.

The JSBML team.
