26 <strong>The Jalview Desktop RSS News Reader</strong><br /> The
27 Jalview Desktop includes a built in news reader for the <a
28 href="http://www.jalview.org/feeds/desktop/rss">Jalview
29 Desktop News Channel</a>.
32 <p>We will use the desktop news channel to keep you informed of
33 important updates relevant to users of the Jalview desktop, such as
34 web service outages and user community events.</p>
36 The news reader will be launched automatically when you start the
37 Desktop if new items are available. Should you want to browse older
38 items, however, you can open it manually from the 'Jalview news
39 reader' option in the Desktop's <a href="../menus/desktopMenu.html">'Tools'

50 The <em>Jalview news reader</em> was introduced in <a
51 href="http://www.jalview.org/releaseHistory.html#Jalview2.7">Jalview
52 version 2.7</a>. Its implementation is based on <a
53 href="http://jswingreader.sourceforge.net/">JSwingReader</a>.
56 <em>If you need to prevent the news-reader opening, then add the
57 <a href="../features/clarguments.html">command-line parameter</a>
58 '-nonews' to Jalview's command-line launch.
