There are now methods in FIGRules.pm for converting BLAST scores to and from the sortable form used in the attribute database. EncodeScore converts a floating-point score to a sortable string. DecodeScore converts the sortable string back to its floating-point value.
The new query_attributes method in FIG.pm allows you to specify an SQL-style filter string when searching for attributes. This capability is necessary for situations where we want to restrict an attribute retrieval to a particular range of values, as is required to get the best docking results for a drug target PDB.
Finally, version 20 of Sprout, which will start loading this weekend, has been converted to use the attribute server instead of its own Property tables. The Property tables will only contain attributes used to speed certain types of searches.

Where can i get a list of keys and corresponding values? The TMpred values, for example, are cryptic and not easily understandable without help or other explanation. To write such help, I need a list of keys and values
thanks, leslie
