- <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.5 ?</strong>
</p>
- <p>
- Jalview 2.9 has been in development since December 2014. In addition
- to a multitude of bug fixes and minor improvements (both small, and
- rather big!), it also brings major new capabilities for codon-level
- analysis of protein alignments and the retrieval and manipulation of
- structural data.</p><p>For the full list of changes, see the
- <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.9">Jalview 2.9 Release Notes</a>.

- <p>
- <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.9</strong>
+ <p>Jalview 2.10.5 is a minor release that includes critical
+ patches for users working with Ensembl, and RNA secondary structure
+ annotation.</p>
<ul>
- <li><strong>Visualisation, editing and analysis of
- cDNA and Protein alignments</strong><br />A new <a
- href="features/splitView.html">Split View</a> window allows linked
- protein and nucleotide sequence alignments to be viewed, edited,
- and analysed as one. <br />cDNA alignments can also be
- reconstructed from protein alignments calculated by Jalview's web
- services, and update in response to edits in the amino acid view.<br />To
- start experimenting with cDNA/Protein analysis, jut drop a file
- containing cDNA sequences which code for, and have IDs matching
- proteins in an existing alignment, and Jalview will do the rest.</li>
- <li><strong>Enhanced Integration of UCSF Chimera</strong> <br>Jalview
- 2.9 provides full support for the use of Chimera to view 3D
- structures linked to alignment views in the Jalview Desktop. We've
- also included support for saving Chimera sessions in Jalview
- project files.<br />Jalview and Chimera communicate using local
- web server connections, which may cause firewall alerts on some
- systems, but has the advantage of allowing bidirectional
- communication. Communication between Jalview and Chimera is now
- much more responsive, and selected regions in Chimera are now
- shown as highlighted regions in the Jalview desktop.</li>
- <li><strong>Interactive querying of the PDBe</strong><br />Jalview
- users can now browse and retrieve 3D structure data from the PDB
- via the <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/doc/search.html">PDBe
- Search API</a> (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1093%2Fnar%2Fgkt1180">Gutmanas
- et al 2014</a>). Developed in collaboration with the PDBe group at
- EMBL-EBI, the interface allows both structured and free-text
- queries to be performed, and allows automatic selection of the
- most relevant structures for an alignment acording to a variety of
- criteria.</li>
- <li><strong>Improved support for RNA visualisation</strong><br />Jalview
- 2.9 integrates the latest version of the <a
- href="http://varna.lri.fr">VARNA RNA Viewer</a>, and VARNA views
- can also now be stored in Jalview projects. We've also dealt with
- a number of lingering bugs in the VARNA/Jalview interface,
- including the loss of pseudoknots when RNA secondary structure is
- shown VARNA.</li>
- <li><strong>Protein Secondary Structure predictions
- with JPred4</strong>Jalview includes a number of new features for working
- with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4 server. These
- include the ability to automatically hide insertions and highlight
- mutations in an alignment with respect to a reference sequence.
- Jalview 2.9's new scrollable SVG HTML export mode was also
- developed specifically for the JPred4 server.</li>
+ <li>EPS, PNG and SVG export now includes hidden sequence
+ markers, and representative sequences are marked in bold.</li>
+ <li>Ensembl Client updated for Ensembl Rest API v7.<br />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.
+ </li>
+ <li>Improved support for VIENNA extended dot-bracket notation
+ for RNA secondary structure</li>
+ <li>Positional and selected region highlighting in VARNA
+ 'trimmed sequence' view now more reliable</li>
</ul>

+ <p>
+ The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.5">2.10.5 Release Notes</a>. 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 !</p>
+ <p><strong>Jalview and Java 10</strong></p>
+ <p>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.</p>
