+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.3b1 ?</strong>
</p>
<p>
- Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 24th November 2016. Full details are
- in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.1">Jalview 2.10.1
- Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below. This is also the
- first release to include contributions from Kira Mourão, who
- joined Jalview's core development team in October 2016.
+ This release - Jalview 2.10.3b1 is the January 2018 patch release for Version 2.10.3 was released in November 2017. The major focus was to
+ improve Jalview's sequence features datamodel and the scalability of
+ the alignment rendering system. The bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.3b1">2.10.3b1
+ Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>The highlights for Jalview 2.10.3 include:
</p>
<ul>
- <li><strong>More memory efficient</strong><br />We've slimmed
- down the consensus analysis data structures used by Jalview so
- even wider alignments can be worked with.</li>
- <li><strong>Select highlighted region</strong><br />Press 'B'
- or use the new menu option in the alignment window's Select menu
- to mark columns containing highlighted regions generated from
- structure selections, mouse-overs, or resulting from a Find
- operation.</li>
- <li><strong>New custom link mechanism for opening URLs
- for database cross references.</strong><br /> If you have customised URL
- links in your Jalview preferences, then you may already have seen
- the <a href="#warning"> warning dialog (see below).</a></li>
- <li><strong>New command line export option for BioJS
- MSAviewer</strong><br />A number of small bugs with the HTML export
- functions from the Jalview desktop were also fixed.</li>
- <li><strong>Small but significant changes to the
- physicochemical properties and consensus calculations</strong><br />Threonine
- is no longer considered a non-hydrophobic residue in the protein
- conservation calculation, and minor bugs addressed in PID and
- consensus colouring.</li>
- <li><strong>Correct display of disulphide bond
- features</strong><br /> In linked structure views, Jalview would
- highlight all residues between in addition to the two linked
- cysteines. The 'select columns by feature' function in the feature
- settings would also select all intermediate columns.
+ <li>Faster and more responsive UI when importing and working
+ with wide alignments and handling hundreds and thousands of
+ sequence features</li>
+ <li>Improved usability with <a
+ href="features/pdbsequencefetcher.html">PDB</a> and <a
+ href="features/uniprotsequencefetcher.html">UniProt</a> Free Text
+ Search dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of
+ IDs.
+ </li>
+ <li>Short names assigned to sequences retrieved from UniProt</li>
+ <li>Groovy console upgraded to 2.4.12 (improved support for Java 9)</li>
</ul>

<p>
- <strong><a name="warning">Warning dialog about updating
- your configured URL links</a></strong><br /> In the desktop prior to Jalview
- 2.10.1, the only way to configure custom links for a particular
- database cross-reference for a sequence was to give it a name that <em>exactly</em>
- matched the database source, and a regular expression for filtering
- out any spurious matches generated when the custom linked was tested
- against the Sequence's ID string. Since the introduction of the
- $DB_ACCESSION$ token, however, $SEQUENCE_ID$ will not be used for
- database cross-reference accession strings, and if you have custom
- links configured, Jalview will raise a warning message so let you
- know that you may need to update your links to use $DB_ACCESSION$.

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remember, please enable the <em>Experimental Features</em> option in
+ the Jalview Desktop's <em>Tools</em> menu, and then restart Jalview
+ if you want to try out features below:
</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><em>Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview</em><br />Two
+ <a href="features/chimera.html#experimental">new entries in
+ the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu</a> allow positional annotation to
+ be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.</li>
+ </ul>
