The anvi'o team just released v9 "Eunice". Anvi'o v9 is the first stable release in nearly two years, and comes with a lot of changes relative to v8. See the release notes here.

Why is this important for the GlobDB?
The anvi'o contigs databases provided on the Downloads page will now work with both the v9 and the development versions of anv'o, instead of just the development version.
