[ensembl-dev] ensembldb.ensembl.org MySQL version upgrade

[Steve Trevanion]

Dear all,

For Ensembl release 88 due in March we are updating the MySQL version on 
our public servers from 5.1.72 to 5.6.33. If you have applications that 
you would like to test with this newer version, then the servers below 
are available for that. The connection details are the same as for 
ensembl.ensembl.org*, for example:

$ mysql -u anonymous -h ensembldb.ebi.ac.uk

$ mysql -u anonymous -h ensembl-martdb.ebi.ac.uk -P 5316

Regards,

Steve
