-</ul>
-<p><strong>Issues Resolved (a select list)</strong></p>
-<ul>
- Aligned cDNA translation to aligned peptide works correctly<br>
- selected region output includes visible annotations (for
- certain formats)<br>
- edit label/displaychar contains existing label/char for
- editing<br>
- Newick tree support improved for clustalW trees and preserving NHX style comments<br>
- Pathological filechooser bug avoided by not allowing
- filenames containing a ':'<br>
- Fixed exception when parsing GFF files containing global
- sequence features<br>
- Reference counting for alignment datasets<br>
- better reporting of non-fatal warnings and error messages to user when file
- parsing fails.<br>
- Save works when Jalview project is default format<br>
- Histidine should be midblue (not pink!) in Zappo<br>
- Undo recovers dataset sequence metadata when sequence
- regions are cut<br>
- PDB files without pdb ID HEADER lines (like those
- generated by MODELLER) are read in properly<br>
- Stockholm annotation parsing fixed and improved (PFAM records)<br>
- Re-instated Full AMSA support and .amsa file association (MyHits)<br>
- annotation consisting of sequence associated scores can be
- read and written correctly to annotation file<br>
- Fixed display of hidden sequence markers and non-italic font
- for representatives in Applet<br>
- Applet Menus are always embedded in applet window on Macs.</br>
- Newly shown features appear at top of stack (in Applet)</br>
- Secondary structure lines are drawn starting from first
- column of alignment<br>
- Uniprot XML import updated for new schema release in July 2008<br>
- Sequence feature to sequence ID match for Features file is case-insensitive<br>
- Sequence features read from Features file appended to all sequences with matching IDs<br>
- PDB structure coloured correctly for associated views containing a sub-sequence<br>
- Display name and local features preserved in results retrieved from web service<br>
- Visual delay indication for sequence retrieval and sequence fetcher initialisation<br>
- Updated Application to use DAS 1.53e version of dasobert DAS client

+ <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.10 is the next major release in the Jalview 2 series. Full
+ details are in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.0">Jalview
+ 2.10 Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.10</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Ensembl sequence fetcher.</strong> Annotated Genes,
+ transcripts and proteins can be retrieved via Jalview's new <a
+ href="features/ensemblsequencefetcher.html">Ensembl REST
+ client</a>. Support for import of Ensembl data also allows:
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Sequence variant data.</strong> Jalview
+ propagates variant annotation imported via Ensembl onto
+ protein products, complete with associated metadata such as
+ clinical significance.</li>
+ <li><strong>Aligned locus view.</strong> Transcripts
+ retrieved for a gene identifier via the Ensembl or
+ EnsemblGenomes sequence databases are automatically aligned to
+ their reference genome.</li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li><strong>Working with structures.</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>More accurate structure mappings.</strong>
+ Jalview now utilises the PDBe's SIFTS database (at EMBL-EBI)
+ to match structures to UniProt sequences, even for structures
+ containing multiple copies of a sequence.</li>
+ <li><strong>Import structures as mmCIF</strong>. Jalview
+ now downloads data from the EMBL-EBI's PDBe site as mmCIF.
+ mmCIF files allow Jalview to handle very large structures,
+ such as the HIV virus capsid assembly.</li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li><strong>UniProt Free Text Search</strong>. The new search
+ dialog for UniProt allows you to browse and retrieve sequences
+ from UniProt with free-text search and more structured queries</li>
+ <li><strong>Reference sequence based alignment
+ visualisation.</strong>. When a reference sequence is defined for the
+ alignment, the alignment column ruler is now numbered according to
+ the reference sequence. The reference sequence for alignment views
+ can also be saved and restored from Jalview projects.</li>
+ <li></li>
+ </ul>
