- <strong>Jalview 2.10.2b1 bugfix release</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- This is patch release for 2.10.2. See the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.2b1">release notes</a>.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Gaps are now rendered as dark grey in overview window</li>
- </ul>
- <p>
- <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.2 ?</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- Version 2.10.2 was released in August 2017, and introduced new user
- interface features, improved and more extensible tree and PCA
- analysis, more robust 3D structure viewing with UCSF Chimera and an
- updated service client for JABAWS. The full list of bug fixes and
- new features can be found in the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.2"> 2.10.2 Release Notes</a>, but
- the highlights are below.
+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.5 ?</strong>
</p>
+ <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>New dialog and faster and more
- configurable Tree and PCA calculations</strong><br> Menu entries for
- calculating PCA and different types of tree have been replaced by
- a single <a href="calculations/calculations.html"><em>Calculations</em>
- dialog box</a>. The underlying implementation for the PCA and tree
- calculations have been made faster and more memory efficient.</li>
- <li><strong>Extensible score models</strong><br />A new
- framework has also been created for the score models used to
- calculate distances between sequences and shade alignments. This
- framework allows import of substitution matrices in NCBI and
- AAIndex format.<br /> <strong>PCA Bug Fixes</strong>. Jalview's
- implementation of PCA differed in its treatment of gaps and
- non-standard residues. The BLOSUM62 matrix also included a typo
- that affected results. See the <a
- href="releases.html#2102scoremodelbugs">2.10.2 release note
- about score model bugs</a> for details and how to reinstate legacy
- behaviour.</li>
- <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 JABAWS 2.2 services have been
- updated, so their options and parameters have changed.</li>
- <li><strong>URL linkouts to other bioinformatics
- databases</strong><br />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><strong>Showing and hiding regions</strong> <br /> <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>
- <li><strong>Gap count - a.k.a. the Occupancy
- Annotation Row</strong><br /> Another way to filter columns according to
- the presence of gaps is to enable the <strong>Occupancy
- Annotation</strong> row via Jalview's Preferences. This annotation row
- shows a histogram of the number of aligned residues at each
- column. The <a href="features/columnFilterByAnnotation.html">Select
- By Annotation</a> dialog now also includes a percentage threshold
- mode, to make it easy to filter alignments to show only those
- columns with a particular fraction of aligned sequences.</li>
- <li><strong>Recent search history for Find, PDBe and
- Uniprot</strong><br />Easily repeat a previous search for <a
- href="features/search.html#queryhistory">Find</a> and the free
- text search system (for querying Uniprot and the PDBe).</li>
- <li><strong>Improved Overview Window</strong><br />The <a
- href="features/overview.html">alignment overview</a> is now easier
- to use when working with alignments of more than 5000 rows and
- columns, and features a new pop-up menu that allows hidden regions
- to be excluded from the overview. It also works with CDS/Protein
- alignments and MSA views in wrapped mode.</li>
- <li><strong>3D Structure</strong><br />Jalview's communication
- with UCSF Chimera has been made more robust, particularly when
- working with many structures and long sequences. Regions in
- structures that correspond to hidden regions in an alignment view
- are now left un-coloured, making it easier to highlight specific
- features in 3D. See below for <a href="#experimental">experimental
- features for exchanging annotation between Chimera and Jalview.</a></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>
- <strong>Scripting</strong><br />New <a
- href="http://www.jalview.org/examples/groovy">groovy examples</a>
- demonstrate Jalview 2.10.2 APIs for creation of data-driven
- colourschemes, and custom alignment file handlers. The <a
- href="groovy/featuresCounter.html">FeatureAnnotationWorker</a>
- introduced in Jalview 2.10 has also been refactored to allow
- efficient counting across multiple feature types. Please be aware
- that feature counter scripts created for earlier versions will not
- execute in Jalview 2.10.2.
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong><a name="experimental">Experimental Features</a></strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- This release of Jalview introduces an <em>Experimental Features</em>
- option in the Jalview Desktop's <em>Tools</em> menu that allows you
- to try out features that are still in development. To access the
- experimental features below - first enable the <strong>Tools→Enable
- Experimental Features</strong> option, and then restart Jalview.
- </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>
-
+ 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>
