- <li>HGVS nomenclature used for variant annotation retrieved
- from Uniprot</li>
- <li>Uniprot import fails for some sequences (Cannot import
- features with multiple variant elements)</li>
- <li>Clustal files with sequence positions in right-hand column
- are now parsed correctly</li>
- <li>Wrap view - export to SVG - IDs shown but not alignment
- area in exported graphic</li>
- <li>F2/Keyboard mode edits work when Overview window has input
- focus</li>
- <li>Windows specific fixes:
- <ul>
- <li>Annotation panel set too high when annotation added to
- view</li>
- <li>Updated search paths for Chimera default installation</li>
- <li>Windows File Shortcuts can be dragged onto the Jalview
- Desktop</li>
- <li>Drag URL from Chrome, Firefox, IE to Jalview desktop on
- Windows doesn't open file:<br /> Dragging the currently open
- URL and links from a page viewed in Firefox or Chrome on
- Windows is now fully supported.<br />
- <strong>If you are using Edge</strong>, only links in the page
- can be dragged.<br />
- <strong>With Internet Explorer</strong>, only the currently open
- URL in the browser can be dropped onto Jalview.

- <p>Highlights in the 2.10.4 series include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Numerous efficiency improvements in the renderer and overview when working with large alignments with lots of hidden columns</li>
- <li>Use of HTTPS when connecting to Uniprot, Ensembl and other EBI web services</li>
- <li>Critical patches for running Jalview on OSX with Java 10</li>
- <li>Easier adjustment of the Alignment ID panel and Annotation panel</li>
- <li>Improved support for mapping between 3D Structures and Uniprot Protein Sequences</li>
- <li>Improved support for discovering CDS and transcripts for Proteins and Ensembl gene IDs</li>
- <li>New buttons on the Structure Chooser for adding structures
- to an existing view, and disabling automatic superposition
- according to linked alignments</li>
- <li>Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview <em>(formerly only
- available in 'Experimental' mode)</em></li>
+ <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 imported
+ from a local VCF file.</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
+ via Getdown.</li>
