+ <strong>What's new ?</strong></p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.8.1 includes new features for group creation, RNA secondary
+ structure prediction and a host bug fixes. It also includes support
+ for <a href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/JABAWS">version 2.1
+ of JABA</a> and includes a Spanish translation of its user interface.<br />
+ The highlights are detailed below, and the full list is given in the <a
+ href="releases.html#Jalview2.8.1">Jalview 2.8.1 Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>The Desktop and web based applet include new keystrokes for
+ defining and undefining groups, and PAM250 has been added to the range
+ of score models available for use by the tree and PCA calculations.
+ The Jalview project file format has also been extended for handling
+ RNA and protein secondary structure annotation, in anticipation for
+ new structure based secondary structure support in Jalview 2.8.2.</p>
+ <p><strong>Internationalisation</strong></p>
+ <p>Jalview 2.8.1 is the first release to include support for
+ displaying Jalview's user interface in different languages. In August
+ 2013, David Roldán-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.</p>
+ <p>
+ 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>. David has also <a
+ href="https://wiki.jalview.org/index.php/Development:i18n">documented
+ the process of creating i18n translations</a> to help you get started.
+ </p>
+ <p><strong>RNA Secondary Structure Prediction with JABA 2.1</strong></p>
+ <p>
+ This version of Jalview includes a client to access the new services available in <a
+ href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws/">JABA v2.1</a> , which
+ provides services for RNA consensus secondary structure prediction and
+ two new alignment programs (<a
+ href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/glprobs/">GLProbs</a> and <a
+ href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/msaprobs/">MSAProbs</a>).</p>
+ <p>
+ To see how to perform RNA secondary structure predictions like the one below, take a look at the <a href="webServices/RNAalifold.html">RNAAliFold
+ client documentation</a>.
