This release of SBOL Utilities includes the following utilities:
- `graph-sbol` uses graphviz to render the object tree in an SBOL Document.
- `excel-to-sbol` extracts SBOL parts and libraries from an Excel file (an SBOL3 version of the [SBOL2 Excel-to-SBOL utility](https://github.com/SynBioDex/Excel-to-SBOL))
- `sbol-expand-derivations` searches through an SBOL file for CombinatorialDerivation objects and expands them to create a library of all of the specific constructs.
- `sbol-calculate-sequences` attempts to calculate the sequence of any DNA Component that can be fully specified from the sequences of its sub-components.
- `sbol-converter` converts between any of the SBOL3, SBOL2, GenBank, and FASTA formats (plus specific converters: `sbol2-to-sbol3`, `sbol3-to-sbol2`, `sbol-to-genbank`, `genbank-to-sbol`, `sbol-to-fasta`, and `fasta-to-sbol`)
- `sbol-diff` computes and reports the difference between two SBOL3 documents.
In addition, for python users SBOL Utilities provides `sequence` and `component` packages to simplify common tasks with those types of objects.
New in this release:
- Experimental python-native converter between GenBank and SBOL3
- Support for Python 3.11
- Utilities with "2" names have been changed to "to" (e.g., "fasta-to-sbol" instead of "fasta2sbol")
