- What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ? -

- This August 2018 release of Jalview introduces new user interface - features, improved and more extensible tree and PCA analysis, more - robust 3D structure viewing with UCSF Chimera and an updated service - client for JABAWS. The full list of bug fixes and new features can - be found in the 2.10.2 - Release Notes, but the highlights are below. + What's new in Jalview 2.10.5 ?

Jalview 2.10.5 is a minor release that includes critical + patches for users working with Ensembl, and RNA secondary structure + annotation.

New dialog and faster and more - configurable Tree and PCA calculations
Menu entries for - calculating PCA and different types of tree have been replaced by - a single Calculations - dialog box. The underlying implementation for the PCA and tree - calculations have been made faster and more memory efficient.
Extensible score models
A new - framework has also been created for the score models used to - calculate distances between sequences and shade alignments. This - framework allows import of substitution matrices in NCBI and - AAIndex format.
PCA Bug Fixes. Jalview's - implementation of PCA differed in its treatment of gaps and - non-standard residues. The BLOSUM62 matrix also included a typo - that affected results. See the 2.10.2 release note - about score model bugs for details and how to reinstate legacy - behaviour.
Update to JABAWS 2.2
Jalview's - alignment, protein conservation analysis, and protein disorder and - RNA secondary structure prediction services are now provided by JABAWS 2.2. - Several of the programs provided as JABAWS 2.2 services have been - updated, so their options and parameters have changed.
URL linkouts to other bioinformatics - databases
New preferences for opening web pages for - database cross-references via the UK Elixir's EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM - database and identifiers.org services.
Showing and hiding regions
Hide insertions 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.
Gap count - a.k.a. the Occupancy - Annotation Row
Another way to filter columns according to - the presence of gaps is to enable the Occupancy - Annotation row via Jalview's Preferences. This annotation row - shows a histogram of the number of aligned residues at each - column. The Select - By Annotation dialog now also includes a percentage threshold - mode, to make it easy to filter alignments to show only those - columns with a particular fraction of aligned sequences.
Recent search history for Find, PDBe and - Uniprot
Easily repeat a previous search for Find and the free - text search system (for querying Uniprot and the PDBe).
Improved Overview Window
The alignment overview is now easier - to use when working with alignments of more than 5000 rows and - columns, and features a new pop-up menu that allows hidden regions - to be excluded from the overview. It also works with CDS/Protein - alignments and MSA views in wrapped mode.
3D Structure
Jalview's communication - with UCSF Chimera has been made more robust, particularly when - working with many structures and long sequences. Regions in - structures that correspond to hidden regions in an alignment view - are now left un-coloured, making it easier to highlight specific - features in 3D. See below for experimental - features for exchanging annotation between Chimera and Jalview.
EPS, PNG and SVG export now includes hidden sequence + markers, and representative sequences are marked in bold.
Ensembl Client updated for Ensembl Rest API v7.
The + latest Ensembl API is not backwards compatible with earlier + versions of Jalview, so if you require Ensembl functionality you + will need to install this release. +
Improved support for VIENNA extended dot-bracket notation + for RNA secondary structure
Positional and selected region highlighting in VARNA + 'trimmed sequence' view now more reliable

- Scripting
New groovy examples - demonstrate Jalview 2.10.2 APIs for creation of data-driven - colourschemes, and custom alignment file handlers. The FeatureAnnotationWorker - introduced in Jalview 2.10 has also been refactored to allow - efficient counting across multiple feature types. Please be aware - that feature counter scripts created for earlier versions will not - execute in Jalview 2.10.2. -

- Experimental Features -

- This release of Jalview introduces an Experimental Features - option in the Jalview Desktop's Tools menu that allows you - to try out features that are still in development. To access the - experimental features below - first enable the Tools→Enable - Experimental Features option, and then restart Jalview. -

Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview
Two - new entries in - the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu allow positional annotation to - be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.

- + The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.10.5 Release Notes. The majority of improvement in 2.10.5 are due to Jalview users + contacting us via the jalview-discuss email list. Thanks to everyone + who took the time to do this !

Jalview and Java 10

This release addresses a critical bug for OSX users who are + running Jalview with Java 10 which can prevent files being saved + correctly through the 'Save As' dialog box. The 'Save As' dialog for + Jalview's Groovy Console remains affected - we hope to address this + in the next major release.
