- <strong>What's new ?</strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- Jalview 2.8 includes a brand new logo, which you'll see in file browsers, splash screens, and also on the new look Jalview site.
- </p>
- <p>
- In addition to our new look, Jalview 2.8 includes a number of new
- features.. some of which have been in development since July 2010. The
- highlights are below, and - as usual, for a comprehensive list, take a
- look at the <a href="releases.html#Jalview2.8">Jalview 2.8 Release
- Notes</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>Highlights in Jalview Desktop Version 2.8</strong>
- </p>
- <ul>
-
- <li>New Purine/Pyrimidine colour scheme</li>
- <li>Colouring of RNA secondary structure by helices. See <a href="na/index.html">Nucleic Acid Support</a></li>
- <li>Embedded <a href="http://www.varna.fr/">VARNA</a> RNA secondary structure viewer.
- </ul>

- <strong>Issues Resolved (a select list - see the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview2.7.1">release history</a> for full details)
- </strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>Issues in the Jalview Desktop</strong>
- <ul>
- </ul>
- <strong>Issues specific to the JalviewLite Applet</strong>
- <ul>
- </ul>
- <strong>Issues affecting both applet and application</strong>
- <ul>
- </ul>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>Jalview 2.11 introduces support for loading VCF files, and new
+ filters and shading models for sequence features. Under the hood,
+ we've addressed many bugs, and also made some important changes in
+ the way the Jalview desktop is installed and launched.</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><em>VCF Support</em>. Proteins and genomic contigs with
+ chromosomal location annotation (such as protein coding genes
+ retrieved from Ensembl) can be annotated with variants imported
+ from a local VCF file.</li>
+ <li><em>The Jalview Launcher and Update System</em><br />
+ Jalview's new installation model means you'll only need to
+ download and install Jalview once. After installation, Jalview
+ will automatically keep itself up to date. The launcher also sets
+ Jalview's memory automatically, so you'll never again have to
+ manually configure Java's memory settings.<br />We are grateful to
+ Install4J who provided us with a free license for their
+ installation system, and Jalview's over the air update system is
+ via Getdown.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11">2.11 Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>Java 11 provides improved performance and better OS
+ integration, so we now recommend users select our Java 11 Jalview
+ distribution rather than the legacy Java 8 build.</p>
+ <em>Known Issues - update for 211 </em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
+ appears with the title 'Save As', and attempting to select a file
+ to load yields a FileNotFound exception.</br>The workaround is to first
+ clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish
+ to load.
+ </li>
+ <li>OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence
+ or Alignment window popup menu.</li>
+ <li>OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items</li>
+ </ul>
