Fixed an inappropriate method of getting species aliases and changed a couple of lines to be more direct.

Using the "best" HTTP client available i.e. avoid making people install LWP if they are on a late enough version of Perl. HTTP::Tiny is very nice

Asking if a dereferenced array ref is undefined is not testing what you think it is and is deprecated in Perl 5.16.0. You are seeing if the first element was defined when in actual fact you needed to assert if the array reference was undefined and act accordingly.

Simplification of the select. The query for select used fields which are not part of the unique key. We also get the API to issue a throw the moment we miss the xref id retrieval. This should be an impossible scenario to get into though

New test case for applying the current release's patches. This downloads the last release of the core schema, finds all patches relevant to this release and patches the DB accordingly.

Failure of this test is not an issue for external users & so should not be punished as such

First draft of revised projections. Exclusions in place for inappropriate mammalian traits on birds and reptiles. Also platypus.
