[Chinook] Version 1.0 release

[Stephen Montgomery]

Hi -

We have put out a 1.0 release of Chinook from 
http://smweb.bcgsc.bc.ca/chinook/index.html
There are tarballs from this site with the source.  As well as CVS.
Alternately, Chinook 1.0 can be run over web start.

Some of the new features include:

   1. A human-friendly interface (Visual indicators to help job submission)
   2. The ability to save and reload submitted jobs (Chinook doesn't
      always need to be running)
   3. Support for JASPAR database
      <http://jaspar.cgb.ki.se/cgi-bin/jaspar_db.pl> and TFBS
      <http://forkhead.cgb.ki.se/TFBS/> Matrices
   4. Integrated Bug/Feature Submission
   5. Java 1.5 compatible
   6. New programming model for defining bioinformatics objects (Using
      dynamic class-loading)
   7. More Perl functionality and test scripts
   8. Advanced report monitoring features, see the STDOUT and STDERR
      from the server
   9. Extensively customizable file upload/download utilities via the
      BCGSC's FileWire
  10. Over 100 pages of user and developer documentation
  11. CVS hosted by java.net


We are always interested in helping set-up servers or adding services.  
We currently have two servers that you can fire requests against. 

Cheers,
Stephen
