negative.code:     3.0 New Features and Updates 
  ================================================================ 
   
  - EVS API upgrade 
  		* 	The EVS (formerly part of caCORE ) API is a public domain, open source wrapper that provides 
              full access to the LexBIG Terminology Server. LexBIG hosts the NCI Thesaurus, the 
              NCI Metathesaurus, and several other vocabularies (like Zebrafish).
              
              The EVS 3.2 model, exposed as part of caCORE 3.2, has been re-released with
              LexBIG as the back-end terminology service in place of the proprietary Apelon DTS
              back end. The SDK 4.0 was used to generate the EVS 3.2 Java API, as well as the SOAP
              and HTTP REST interfaces.  The only difference between the EVS 3.2 API exposed as part of the caCORE EVS 4.x
              and the API exposed as part of caCORE 3.2 is the back-end terminology server used to
              retrieve the vocabulary data.             
              
              caMOD will upgrade to use the EVS 4.2 API to get the Display Name or Preferred Name for its
              vocabulary entries. 
               
              EVSTree has also been upgraded to retrieve all 8 vocabularies from the enw EVS 4.2 API.   
   
  - caBIO API upgrade  
  		*   The caMOD application connects to caBIO to retrieve additional data for the Therapeutic Approaches 
              and Genetic Description search results screens.  On the Therapeutic Approaches search results screen caMOD 
              displays clinical trials data from caBIO.  On the Genetic Description search results screen caMOD displays 
              additional data within the Targeted Modification section for "Gene Info" (official nomenclature of the gene), 
              Database Links to UniGene and CGAP, "Gene Ontology" (controlled vocabulary to describe gene and gene product attributes), 
              and "BioCarta Pathways".  
  
              caMOD will upgrade to use the caBIO 4.0 API (jars match EVS 4.2) to get additional data from caBIO.
