25 <strong>What's new ?</strong></p>
27 Jalview 2.8.1 includes new features for group creation, RNA secondary
28 structure prediction and a host bug fixes. It also includes support
29 for <a href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/JABAWS">version 2.1
30 of JABA</a> and includes a Spanish translation of its user interface.<br />
31 The highlights are detailed below, and the full list is given in the <a
32 href="releases.html#Jalview2.8.1">Jalview 2.8.1 Release Notes</a>.
34 <p>The Desktop and web based applet include new keystrokes for
35 defining and undefining groups, and PAM250 has been added to the range
36 of score models available for use by the tree and PCA calculations.
37 The Jalview project file format has also been extended for handling
38 RNA and protein secondary structure annotation, in anticipation for
39 new structure based secondary structure support in Jalview 2.8.2.</p>
40 <p><strong>Internationalisation</strong></p>
41 <p>Jalview 2.8.1 is the first release to include support for
42 displaying Jalview's user interface in different languages. In August
43 2013, David Roldán-Martinez took on the task of
44 internationalising Jalview's user interface. He also recruited Sara
45 Hernández Díaz and Laura Ferrandis Martinez who created
46 Jalview's first spanish user interface translation.</p>
48 If you notice any problems, or would like to help translate Jalview's
49 user interface into other languages, head over to <a
50 href="http://issues.jalview.org">issues.jalview.org</a> and put in a
51 feature request describing the translations you can provide to the <a
52 href="http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL/component/10682">i18n
53 component</a>. David has also <a
54 href="https://wiki.jalview.org/index.php/Development:i18n">documented
55 the process of creating i18n translations</a> to help you get started.
57 <p><strong>RNA Secondary Structure Prediction with JABA 2.1</strong></p>
59 This version of Jalview includes a client to access the new services available in <a
60 href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws/">JABA v2.1</a> , which
61 provides services for RNA consensus secondary structure prediction and
62 two new alignment programs (<a
63 href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/glprobs/">GLProbs</a> and <a
64 href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/msaprobs/">MSAProbs</a>).</p>
66 To see how to perform RNA secondary structure predictions like the one below, take a look at the <a href="webServices/RNAalifold.html">RNAAliFold
67 client documentation</a>.
