-<p><strong>What's new ?</strong> </p>\r
-<p>Jalview Version 2.08</p>\r
-<p><a href="editing/index.html">Editing</a> can be <a href="editing/selectionAreas.html">locked to the\r
- selection area</a> so that any edits made within the locked area do\r
- not unexpectedly shift other parts of the alignment.</p>\r
-<p> Keyboard editing - press F2 to toggle <a href="features/cursorMode.html">cursor mode</a> On / Off. For a full list \r
- of keyboard controls, look <a href="keys.html">here</a>.</p>\r
-<p> <a href="features/search.html">Create sequence features from searches</a>. \r
- Previously, the regions of sequences highlighted as the result of\r
- searches were added as new regions in the alignment. Now, the sequence region\r
- selected by a search can be used to define named sequences features\r
- attached to the sequence, rather than the alignment.\r
- </p>\r
-<p>Sequence feature display and rendering has also been enhanced, with\r
- the addition of sequence feature groups (which can be used to show\r
- or hide a set of features <em>en masse</em>) and user defined\r
- feature colours as well as transparency controls, using the <a\r
- href="features/featuresettings.html">Sequence Feature Settings</a>\r
- window. The <a href="features/featuresFormat.html">Features file</a>\r
- has also been extended to accomodate these enhancements.</p>\r
-<p>Alignment annotation and colouring is also considerably\r
- enhanced. Precalculated symbolic and quantitative annotations (text labels,\r
- secondary structure symbols and multiple scalar graphs) can now be\r
- loaded onto alignments via the <a\r
- href="features/annotationsFormat.html">Annotation\r
- File</a>. Additionally, the <a\r
- href="colourSchemes/annotationColouring.html">Annotation\r
- Colouring</a> dialog box allows an alignment to be coloured based on\r
- any of the graphed quantities with which it is annotated.</p>\r
-<p>Rendering speed has been improved by disabling anti-aliasing via\r
- the <strong>Smooth Fonts</strong>\r
- option in the <strong>View \r
- menu</strong> (its default set in <strong>Preferences</strong>). In addition, response\r
- times when editing alignments can be reduced by turning off the automatic\r
- calculation of amino acid property Consensus (which has been\r
- reintroduced to the <strong>Calculate</strong> menu as <strong>Autocalculate Consensus</strong>).<br>\r
-</p>\r
-<p><strong>Issues Resolved</strong></p>\r
-<ul>\r
-<li>Drag & Drop now works on common Linux desktops (at least KDE\r
-and Gnome)</li>\r
-<li>Jalview XML Archive Input/Output is now faster (using an\r
-internal Jalview schema), and sequence description strings are now\r
-preserved in the archive.</li>\r
-<li>Jalview can now correctly read and write <a\r
-href="http://salilab.org/modeller/modeller.html">MODELLER</a> style\r
-PIR description lines for proteins with a PDB reference.\r
-</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<p>See the <a href="releases.html">Release History</a> page for details of all\r
- new features and resolved issues. </p>\r
