[Phylobase-devl] Fwd: new release, virtual hackathon?

[Brian O'Meara]

Sorry, Ben. Yes, it did go through. Putting out a new release sounds like a
good idea. I can't commit to doing a mini-hack in Dec., though (but, as my
contribution would probably be breaking NCL integration, this may be a good
thing).
