-<p><strong>What's new ?</strong> </p>\r
-<p>If you are reading this then you will already have seen some of the recent changes\r
- made to Jalview.<br>\r
- Jalview takes advantage of some of the more recent user interface developments\r
- in the Java programming language. For instance Jalview is now a multi windowed\r
- application, this keeps all your Jalview windows neatly together in one main\r
- application window. </p>\r
-<p>If you were familiar with the original Jalview, here is a list of important\r
- features you should know about the current development:</p>\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>Editing sequences is no longer the default when mouse clicking the alignment. \r
- Instead, mouse clicking on the alignment creates a "selection region" \r
- which may be full sequences or groups of residues.</li>\r
- <li>To insert or edit the gaps in one sequence in alignment, the "Shift" \r
- key must be held down when dragging the mouse.</li>\r
- <li>To insert or edit gaps for a group of sequences, the "Alt" key \r
- (or in X windows the "Control" key) must be held down.</li>\r
- <li>Selecting colour schemes in the colour menu either sets just the "background" \r
- colourscheme for the alignment, or - when the tickbox "Apply colour to \r
- all groups" is ticked, applies the scheme to the background and all groups \r
- defined on the alignment.</li>\r
- <li>Use the right mouse button (apple and click on the Mac) whilst the pointer \r
- is within the selection area to access the "define" region menu \r
- to define a new region, give it a name, and change its colourscheme and display \r
- properties.</li>\r
- <li>Conservation is automatically updated whenever the alignment is edited</li>\r
- <li>There is no "quick draw" option</li>\r
- <li>Edits can be undone, and redone!</li>\r
-</ul>\r

+ <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.9.0b2 is a bug fix release for Jalview 2.9.
+ The release of Jalview 2.9 in September 2015 included
+ a multitude of bug fixes and minor improvements (both small, and
+ rather big!), it also brings major new capabilities for codon-level
+ analysis of protein alignments and the retrieval and manipulation of
+ structural data.</p><p>For the patches since version 2.9 was released, see the
+ <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.9.0b2">Jalview 2.9.0b2 Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.9</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Visualisation, editing and analysis of
+ cDNA and Protein alignments</strong><br />A new <a
+ href="features/splitView.html">Split View</a> window allows linked
+ protein and nucleotide sequence alignments to be viewed, edited,
+ and analysed as one. <br />cDNA alignments can also be
+ reconstructed from protein alignments calculated by Jalview's web
+ services, and update in response to edits in the amino acid view.<br />To
+ start experimenting with cDNA/Protein analysis, jut drop a file
+ containing cDNA sequences which code for proteins in an existing
+ alignment, and Jalview will do the rest.</li>
+ <li><strong>Enhanced Integration of UCSF Chimera</strong> <br>Jalview
+ 2.9 provides full support for the use of Chimera to view 3D
+ structures linked to alignment views in the Jalview Desktop. We've
+ also included support for saving Chimera sessions in Jalview
+ project files.<br />Jalview and Chimera communicate using local
+ web server connections, which may cause firewall alerts on some
+ systems, but has the advantage of allowing bidirectional
+ communication. Communication between Jalview and Chimera is now
+ much more responsive, and selected regions in Chimera are now
+ shown as highlighted regions in the Jalview desktop.</li>
+ <li><strong>Interactive querying of the PDBe</strong><br />Jalview
+ users can now <a href="features/pdbsequencefetcher.html">browse</a> and <a href="features/viewingpdbs.html">retrieve 3D structure</a> data from the PDB
+ via the <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/doc/search.html">PDBe
+ Search API</a> (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1093%2Fnar%2Fgkt1180">Gutmanas
+ et al 2014</a>). Developed in collaboration with the PDBe group at
+ EMBL-EBI, the interface allows both structured and free-text
+ queries to be performed, and allows automatic selection of the
+ most relevant structures for an alignment acording to a variety of
+ criteria.</li>
+ <li><strong>Improved support for RNA visualisation</strong><br />Jalview
+ 2.9 integrates the latest version of the <a
+ href="features/varna.html">VARNA RNA Viewer</a>, and VARNA views
+ can also now be stored in Jalview projects. We've also dealt with
+ a number of lingering bugs in the VARNA/Jalview interface,
+ including the loss of pseudoknots when RNA secondary structure is
+ shown VARNA.</li>
+ <li><strong>Protein Secondary Structure predictions
+ with JPred4</strong><br />Jalview includes a number of new features for
+ working with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4
+ server. These include new <a href="menus/popupMenu.html#hideinserts">popup menu actions</a> to automatically hide insertions and highlight
+ mutations in an alignment with respect to a <a href="calculations/referenceseq.html">Reference
+ Sequence</a>. Jalview 2.9's new <a href="io/export.html#htmlexport">scrollable
+ SVG HTML export</a> was also developed specifically for the JPred4
+ server.</li>
+ </ul>
