-<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>

+ <strong>What's new in Jalview 2.10.1 ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.10.1 was released on 29th November 2016. Full details are
+ in the <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.10.1">Jalview 2.10.1
+ Release Notes</a>, but the highlights are below. This is also the
+ first release to include contributions from Kira Mourão, who
+ joined Jalview's core development team in October 2016.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>More memory efficient</strong><br />We've slimmed
+ down the consensus analysis data structures used by Jalview so
+ even wider alignments can be worked with.</li>
+ <li><strong>Select highlighted region</strong><br />Press 'B'
+ or use the new menu option in the alignment window's Select menu
+ to mark columns containing highlighted regions generated from
+ structure selections, mouse-overs, or resulting from a Find
+ operation.</li>
+ <li><strong>New custom link mechanism for opening URLs
+ for database cross references.</strong><br /> If you have customised URL
+ links in your Jalview preferences, then you may already have seen
+ the <a href="#warning"> warning dialog (see below).</a></li>
+ <li><strong>New command line export option for BioJS
+ MSAviewer</strong><br />A number of small bugs with the HTML export
+ functions from the Jalview desktop were also fixed.</li>
+ <li><strong>Small but significant changes to the
+ physicochemical properties and consensus calculations</strong><br />Threonine
+ is no longer considered a non-hydrophobic residue in the protein
+ conservation calculation, and minor bugs addressed in PID and
+ consensus colouring.</li>
+ <li><strong>Correct display of disulphide bond
+ features</strong><br /> In linked structure views, Jalview would
+ highlight all residues between in addition to the two linked
+ cysteines. The 'select columns by feature' function in the feature
+ settings would also select all intermediate columns.
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong><a name="warning">Warning dialog about updating
+ your configured URL links</a></strong><br /> In the desktop prior to Jalview
+ 2.10.1, the only way to configure custom links for a particular
+ database cross-reference for a sequence was to give it a name that <em>exactly</em>
+ matched the database source, and a regular expression for filtering
+ out any spurious matches generated when the custom linked was tested
+ against the Sequence's ID string. Since the introduction of the
+ $DB_ACCESSION$ token, however, $SEQUENCE_ID$ will not be used for
+ database cross-reference accession strings, and if you have custom
+ links configured, Jalview will raise a warning message so let you
+ know that you may need to update your links to use $DB_ACCESSION$.
