27 <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.1 ?</strong>
30 Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 29th November 2016. Full details are
31 in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.1">Jalview 2.10.1
32 Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below. This is also the
33 first release to include contributions from Kira Mourão, who
34 joined Jalview's core development team in October 2016.
37 <li><strong>More memory efficient</strong><br />We've slimmed
38 down the consensus analysis data structures used by Jalview so
39 even wider alignments can be worked with.</li>
40 <li><strong>Select highlighted region</strong><br />Press 'B'
41 or use the new menu option in the alignment window's Select menu
42 to mark columns containing highlighted regions generated from
43 structure selections, mouse-overs, or resulting from a Find
45 <li><strong>New custom link mechanism for opening URLs
46 for database cross references.</strong><br /> If you have customised URL
47 links in your Jalview preferences, then you may already have seen
48 the <a href="#warning"> warning dialog (see below).</a></li>
49 <li><strong>New command line export option for BioJS
50 MSAviewer</strong><br />A number of small bugs with the HTML export
51 functions from the Jalview desktop were also fixed.</li>
52 <li><strong>Small but significant changes to the
53 physicochemical properties and consensus calculations</strong><br />Threonine
54 is no longer considered a non-hydrophobic residue in the protein
55 conservation calculation, and minor bugs addressed in PID and
56 consensus colouring.</li>
57 <li><strong>Correct display of disulphide bond
58 features</strong><br /> In linked structure views, Jalview would
59 highlight all residues between in addition to the two linked
60 cysteines. The 'select columns by feature' function in the feature
61 settings would also select all intermediate columns.
65 <strong><a name="warning">Warning dialog about updating
66 your configured URL links</a></strong><br /> In the desktop prior to Jalview
67 2.10.1, the only way to configure custom links for a particular
68 database cross-reference for a sequence was to give it a name that <em>exactly</em>
69 matched the database source, and a regular expression for filtering
70 out any spurious matches generated when the custom linked was tested
71 against the Sequence's ID string. Since the introduction of the
72 $DB_ACCESSION$ token, however, $SEQUENCE_ID$ will not be used for
73 database cross-reference accession strings, and if you have custom
74 links configured, Jalview will raise a warning message so let you
75 know that you may need to update your links to use $DB_ACCESSION$.
