+ <strong>Jalview and Java 10</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>This release addresses a critical bug for OSX users who are
+ running Jalview with Java 10 which can prevent files being saved
+ correctly through the 'Save As' dialog box.</p>
+ <em>Known Issues</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
+ appears with the title 'Save As', and attempting to select a file to load yields a FileNotFound exception.</br>The workaround is to first clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish to load.
+ </li>
+ <li>OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence or Alignment window popup menu.</li>
+ <li>OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items</li>
+ </ul>
