- <strong>Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features</strong>
+ <strong>Jalview 2.11.1.5</strong>
</p>
- <p>Jalview 2.11 introduces support for loading VCF files, and new
- filters and shading models for sequence features. Under the hood,
- we've addressed many bugs, and also made some important changes in
- the way the Jalview desktop is installed and launched.</p>
- <ul>
- <li><em>VCF Support</em>. Proteins and genomic contigs with
- chromosomal location annotation (such as protein coding genes
- retrieved from Ensembl) can be annotated with variants <a
- href="features/importvcf.html">imported from a local VCF file</a>.</li>
- <li><em>The Jalview Launcher and Update System</em><br />
- Jalview's new installation model means you'll only need to
- download and install Jalview once. After installation, Jalview
- will automatically keep itself up to date. The launcher also sets
- Jalview's memory automatically, so you'll never again have to
- manually configure Java's memory settings.<br />We are grateful
- to Install4J who provided us with a free license for their
- installation system, and Jalview's over the air update system is
- based on Three Rings' Getdown system.</li>
- <li><em>Backup files</em><br />Jalview will automatically
- create backups when overwriting existing files, and - unlike with
- earlier versions, should Jalview crash during a save, the original
- file will be unaffected.</li>
- <li><em>PCA plots stored in Jalview Projects</em><br />The PCA
- viewer has also been enhanced and the user interface revised.</li>
- <li>
- </li>
- </ul>
+ <p>Jalview 2.11.1.5 is a critical patch release that updates one
+ of the open source components, log4j, that Jalview relies on. The
+ update addresses the widely reported log4shell security
+ vunerability. This release also addresses a bug in the occupancy
+ calculation that occurs when working with alignments of more than
+ 32,000 sequences.</p>
<p>

- <p>
- <strong>Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards</strong>
- </p>
- <p>The Jalview application comes bundled with its own independent
- Java installation which will be updated automatically from
- www.jalview.org. Version 2.11.0 includes an AdoptOpenJDK Java 1.8
- runtime, but installations will be migrated to the latest Java
- release once remaining issues have been addressed.</p>
