-<ul>
+ <p>
+ <strong>What's new ?</strong><br /> Jalview 2.8.1 includes a range of new features developed in the last 12 months. <br /> As usual you can find the
+ highlights below, and the comprehensive list is given in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview2.8.1">Jalview 2.8.1 Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <strong>Internationalisation</strong>
+ <p>
+ In August 2013, David Róldan-Martinez took on the task of
+ internationalising Jalview's user interface. He also recruited Sara
+ Hernández Díaz and Laura Ferrandis Martinez who created Jalview's
+ first spanish user interface translation.<br /> If you notice any
+ problems, or would like to help translate Jalview's user interface
+ into other languages, head over to <a href="http://issues.jalview.org">issues.jalview.org</a>
+ and put in a feature request describing the translations you can
+ provide to the <a
+ href="http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL/component/10682">i18n
+ component</a>.<br/>
+ David has also put together some documentation about getting started with i18n translations
+ </p>
+ <strong>Enhancements and new features</strong>
<ul>
- Source field in GFF files parsed as feature source rather
- than description<br/>
- Non-positional features are now included in sequence feature
- and gff files (controlled via non-positional feature visibility in
- tooltip).<br/>
- URL links generated for all feature links (bugfix)<br/>
- Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
- peptide product<br/>
- Match case switch in find dialog box works for both sequence
- ID and sequence string and query strings do not have to be in upper
- case to match case-insensitively.<br/>
- Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
- documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
- re-imported)<br/>
- Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
- subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.<br/>
+ <li>
+ <li>Extended the <a href="features/featuresettings.html">feature settings dialog</a> to allow columns to be selected containing particular sequence features.</li>
</ul>
- <em>Desktop Issues</em>
+ <strong>Bug fixes</strong>
<ul>
- Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval<br/>
- PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly<br/>
- Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS<br/>
- Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
- sources<br/>
- Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
- before alignment figures are generated.<br/>
- Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first time.<br/>
- User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview projects.<br/>
- </ul>
-</ul>
