- <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.3b1 ?</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- This is the January 2018 patch release, which addresses critical bugs in Version 2.10.3 (released November 2017).
- 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:
+ <strong>Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features</strong>
</p>
+ <p>Jalview 2.11 introduces support for loading VCF files, and new
+ filters and shading models for sequence features. Under the hood,
+ we've addressed many bugs, and also made some important changes in
+ the way the Jalview desktop is installed and launched.</p>
<ul>
- <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>
+ <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>
</ul>

- <strong><a name="experimental">Experimental Features</a></strong>
+ The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11">2.11 Release Notes</a>.
</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:
+ <strong>Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards</strong>
</p>
+ <p>Java 11 provides improved performance and better OS
+ integration, so we now recommend users select our Java 11 Jalview
+ distribution rather than the legacy Java 8 build.</p>
+ <em>Known Issues - update for 211 </em>
<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>
+ <li>OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
+ appears with the title 'Save As', and attempting to select a file
+ to load yields a FileNotFound exception.</br>The workaround is to first
+ clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish
+ to load.
+ </li>
+ <li>OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence
+ or Alignment window popup menu.</li>
+ <li>OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items</li>
</ul>
