[ensembl-dev] Running API scripts against old releases

[Javier Herrero]

Hi Simon

The lastest release for NCBI36 was e54!. I'd strongly recommend you use 
the API v.54 for this. The main methods haven't changes dramatically and 
it might be that the script works for 54 and 65 out of the box or with 
very few changes. However, you should use the API version that 
corresponds to the database you want to use.

To get the old API version, I'd recommend to use our public CVS server:

cvs -d :pserver:cvsuser at cvs.sanger.ac.uk:/cvsroot/ensembl checkout -r branch-ensembl-54 ensembl-api

I hope this helps

Javier
