Legacy OBITools status

Legacy OBITools is 20 years old. It was developed using Python 2, a language that is no longer supported. Therefore, maintaining this code is impossible. It has now been superseded by OBITools4, the latest version in the OBITools lineage.

In order to enable users to continue using Legacy OBITools, a Docker image has been created and made available on the metabarcoding.org registry. While we discourage using this old version for new projects, being able to run it can still be useful for reproducibility purposes.

You can find more information about using this Docker image on the relevant page of the new metabarcoding website.

All the best,

Eric Coissac
