| Please read the following advice about a bug in acedb file parsing. |
|---|
Following a report by a user at Sanger we have found a bug has been introduced into the way acedb parses in data, the bug has been in the code for several years so its surprising it has not come to light before. The problem can be summarised as follows, if you parse in the following file: //------start-------- CDS : "R09E10.1" Sequence : "Eds_sequence" CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222 Sequence : "R09E10" -D CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222 CDS_child "R09E10.1" 33333 44444 //------------end----- You end up with "R09E10" looking like this: Sequence R09E10 SMap S_Child CDS_child R09E10.1 i.e. you have lost the new coordinates from your change. There is a work around in that if you do the deletion and addition in two stages then all will be fine: Sequence : "R09E10" -D CDS_child "R09E10.1" 11111 22222 Sequence : "R09E10" CDS_child "R09E10.1" 33333 44444
| We are working on a fix for this but it has proved more complex than originally thought. Once the code has been fixed we will announce it here. In the meantime if you have any questions about this bug please contact the AceDB developers. |

AceDB may be downloaded free of charge -- see AceDB Licensing for details.
Please read this before downloading acedb
We no longer support compiling versions of acedb with the GTK graphical libraries compiled in. This means you must have these libraries installed on your machine for acedb to compile and/or run.
In addition, Acedb is now compiled against the GTK version 2 libraries, if you download the source/binaries on this page, they will require GTK v2.
The last release of acedb that used the GTK version 1 libraries can be downloaded from here.
| NB All tar files are currently tar bombs, in that the contents are simply left in your current directory. We plan to change this so detarring the file will create a dedicated directory and then put everything in that, but we haven't done so yet. |

There are three levels of code you can download:
Public: Download this if you want supported/stable/well-tested code, this code does not have all of the latest features (also includes AceDB builds supplied by 3rd-parties).
Monthly: Download this if you want stable development code which contains most of the recent features.
Daily: Download this if you want to try the very latest code, perhaps to test some new feature just added by the developers. NOTE that this code is not even guaranteed to compile, it is the latest snapshot of the AceDB development code and you should only use it if you have talked with AceDB developers first. (Last time it worked (May 9 2008) it passed 92% of its tests, but don't let that alarm you / lull you into a false sense of security! Click here to see the test results.)
| Build | Version | Compiled | Test results |
