[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse 1.16.3 released

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

Hello all,
I am happy to announce JBrowse 1.16.3. This release is important in order
to address a change that was made upstream in BioPerl where some modules
that JBrowse uses were removed from the core BioPerl distribution. If you
are stuck with an older version of JBrowse please see
https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/issues/1313 for a workaround, but otherwise
this version of JBrowse has such a workaround built in to it.

If there are any questions about this, let me know.

Otherwise, happy browsing!
