- <li><strong>Update to JABAWS 2.2</strong><br />Jalview's
- alignment, protein conservation analysis, and protein disorder and
- RNA secondary structure prediction services are now provided by <a
- href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws">JABAWS 2.2</a>.
- Several of the programs provided as services have been updated, so
- their options and parameters have changed.</li>
- <li>New preferences for <a href="webServices/urllinks.html">opening
- web pages for database cross-references</a> via the UK Elixir's
- EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM database and identifiers.org services.

- <li><em>Showing and hiding regions</em>
- <ul>
- <li><a href="menus/popupMenu.html#hideinserts">Hide
- insertions</a> in the PopUp menu has changed its behaviour.
- Prior to 2.10.2, columns were only shown or hidden according
- to gaps in the sequence under the popup menu. Now, only
- columns that are gapped in all selected sequences as well as
- the sequence under the popup menu are hidden, and column
- visibility outside the selected region is left as is. This
- makes it easy to filter insertions from the alignment view
- (just select the region containing insertions to remove)
- without affecting the rest of the hidden columns.</li>

+ <li><em>VCF Support</em>. Proteins and genomic contigs with
+ chromosomal location annotation (such as protein coding genes
+ retrieved from Ensembl) can be annotated with variants imported
+ from a local VCF file.</li>
+ <li><em>The Jalview Launcher and Update System</em><br />
+ Jalview's new installation model means you'll only need to
+ download and install Jalview once. After installation, Jalview
+ will automatically keep itself up to date. The launcher also sets
+ Jalview's memory automatically, so you'll never again have to
+ manually configure Java's memory settings.<br />We are grateful to
+ Install4J who provided us with a free license for their
+ installation system, and Jalview's over the air update system is
+ via Getdown.</li>
