Dear Biopythoneers,

I think once the following are resolved (they have pull requests), we
should do the next release:

* NumPy 2.4 compatibility
   https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/5135

* Using pyproject.toml rather than setup.py
   https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/5142

Ideally sooner rather than later as the PDB _ATOM_FORMAT_STRING glitch
introduced in Biopython 1.86 seems to be hitting a lot of people:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/5097

Is there anything else you think is urgent enough to wait on?

Thanks,

Peter
