New release of WormBase: WS203

Two WB users independently requested a way to access a simple ortholog summary list. I pointed them to the gene info feature of geneorienteer.org and she agreed that was what she wanted. Perhaps we can make it easier for people to find that site or to integrate it into WormBase?

Frozen releases for WS110, WS150, WS160, WS170, WS180, and WS190 have been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
