- <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.1 ?</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>.
+ Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 29th 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.
</p>
- <p>
- <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.9</strong>
<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 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 <a href="features/pdbsequencefetcher.html">browse</a> and <a href="features/viewingpdbs.html">retrieve 3D structure</a> 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="features/varna.html">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><br />Jalview includes a number of new features for
- working with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4
- server. These include new <a href="menus/popupMenu.html#hideinserts">popup menu actions</a> to automatically hide insertions and highlight
- mutations in an alignment with respect to a <a href="calculations/referenceseq.html">Reference
- Sequence</a>. Jalview 2.9's new <a href="io/export.html#htmlexport">scrollable
- SVG HTML export</a> was also developed specifically for the JPred4
- server.</li>
+ <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.
</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 $DB_ACCESSION$.
