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