+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.1 ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 29th November 2016. Full details are
+ in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.1">Jalview 2.10.1
+ Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below. This is also the
+ first release to include contributions from Kira Mourão, who
+ joined Jalview's core development team in October 2016.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>More memory efficient</strong><br />We've slimmed
+ down the consensus analysis data structures used by Jalview so
+ even wider alignments can be worked with.</li>
+ <li><strong>Select highlighted region</strong><br />Press 'B'
+ or use the new menu option in the alignment window's Select menu
+ to mark columns containing highlighted regions generated from
+ structure selections, mouse-overs, or resulting from a Find
+ operation.</li>
+ <li><strong>New custom link mechanism for opening URLs
+ for database cross references.</strong><br /> If you have customised URL
+ links in your Jalview preferences, then you may already have seen
+ the <a href="#warning"> warning dialog (see below).</a></li>
+ <li><strong>New command line export option for BioJS
+ MSAviewer</strong><br />A number of small bugs with the HTML export
+ functions from the Jalview desktop were also fixed.</li>
+ <li><strong>Small but significant changes to the
+ physicochemical properties and consensus calculations</strong><br />Threonine
+ is no longer considered a non-hydrophobic residue in the protein
+ conservation calculation, and minor bugs addressed in PID and
+ consensus colouring.</li>
+ <li><strong>Correct display of disulphide bond
+ features</strong><br /> In linked structure views, Jalview would
+ highlight all residues between in addition to the two linked
+ cysteines. The 'select columns by feature' function in the feature
+ settings would also select all intermediate columns.
+ </ul>
