[ensembl-dev] Ensembl ftp for release 76

[Thomas Maurel]

Dear Henrikki,

Just to let you know that I've now updated all the fasta README files and re-generated all the fasta CHECKSUMS files in ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-76/fasta

Sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience caused.
Regards,
Thomas
