gramene v25 release questions

[Gregory S. Brown]

Hi,

We maintain an external Gramene API with Genome and CMap databases  
incorporated within a larger Ensembl mirror.  Although the Gramene  
API and schema is based upon Ensembl's, there is a time lag and thus  
a version difference between the two as well as some slightly  
different code that Gramene uses.  Ensembl has just release version  
45 and it looks like Gramene will shortly release a version 25 this  
month.  Ensembl went to the Apache 2.0 web server (and mod_perl_2.0)  
starting with their version 43.  Currently Gramene v24 is based on  
Ensembl version 42.

Now for my question.  Which version of Ensembl will the next release  
of Gramene be based on?  If it is not version 43 or higher, when do  
you anticipate using Ensembl v43 or higher?  Our main concern is to  
integrate the Gramene genome browser data within an Ensembl v45  
mirrored system.

Thank you.
