+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.5 ?</strong>
</p>
+ <p>Jalview 2.10.5 is a minor release that includes critical
+ patches for users working with Ensembl, RNA secondary structure
+ annotation, and those running Jalview on OSX with Java 10.</p>
<ul>
- <li>Faster and more responsive UI when importing and working
- with wide alignments and handling hundreds and thousands of
- sequence features</li>
- <li>Improved usability with <a
- href="features/pdbsequencefetcher.html">PDB</a> and <a
- href="features/uniprotsequencefetcher.html">UniProt</a> Free Text
- Search dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of
- IDs.
+ <li>Jalview's default memory limit increased to 1G. <br/>If you have
+ problems starting Jalview 2.10.5 and you have 1G or less
+ physical memory on your machine, you will need to <a
+ href="memory.html#memsetting">reduce the memory</a> allocated to
+ Jalview.
+ </li>
+ <li>EPS, PNG and SVG export now includes hidden sequence
+ markers, and representative sequences are marked in bold.</li>
+ <li>Ensembl Client updated for Ensembl Rest API v7.<br />The
+ latest Ensembl API is not backwards compatible with earlier
+ versions of Jalview, so if you require Ensembl functionality you
+ will need to install this release.
</li>
- <li>Short names assigned to sequences retrieved from UniProt</li>
- <li>Groovy console upgraded to 2.4.12 (improved support for Java 9)</li>
+ <li>Improved support for VIENNA extended dot-bracket notation

+ <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><em>Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview</em><br />Two
- <a href="features/chimera.html#experimental">new entries in
- the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu</a> allow positional annotation to
- be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.</li>
+ <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>
