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.
- Jalview's default memory limit increased to 1G. If you have
problems starting Jalview 2.10.5 and you have 1G or less
physical memory on your machine, you will need to reduce the memory allocated to
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
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.
Known Issues
- OSX: The 'Save As' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
remains affected: the workaround is to create a new file outside
of Jalview and then select it when saving your groovy script. We
hope to address this in the next major release.
- OSX: Jalview only displays old news feed items
- OSX: Users may have to manually configure a web browser
helper application ('/usr/bin/open' can be used in the Connections
Preferences panel to open URLs with your default browser).
