- <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ?</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- Full details about Jalview 2.10.2 are in the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.2"> Release Notes</a>, but the
- highlights are below.
+ <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><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>
- <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>
- </ul></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>
<p>
- <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>
- This release of Jalview includes a new option in the Jalview Desktop
- that allows you to try out features that are still in development.
- To access the features described below, please first enable the <strong>Tools→Enable
- Experimental Features</strong> option, and then restart Jalview.
+ <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>
