We are pleased to announce the release of JSBML-1.6.1, which is now available for download from GitHub and Maven.

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:

To access this version of JSBML via Maven use:

<dependency> <groupId>org.sbml.jsbml</groupId> <artifactId>jsbml</artifactId> <version>1.6.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency>

Best wishes and happy new year to you!
