What's new ?
+Jalview Version 2.08
+Editing can be locked to the + selection area so that any edits made within the locked area do + not unexpectedly shift other parts of the alignment.
+Keyboard editing - press F2 to toggle cursor mode On / Off. For a full list + of keyboard controls, look here.
+Create sequence features from searches. + Previously, the regions of sequences highlighted as the result of + searches were added as new regions in the alignment. Now, the sequence region + selected by a search can be used to define named sequences features + attached to the sequence, rather than the alignment. +
+Sequence feature display and rendering has also been enhanced, with + the addition of sequence feature groups (which can be used to show + or hide a set of features en masse) and user defined + feature colours as well as transparency controls, using the Sequence Feature Settings + window. The Features file + has also been extended to accomodate these enhancements.
+Alignment annotation and colouring is also considerably + enhanced. Precalculated symbolic and quantitative annotations (text labels, + secondary structure symbols and multiple scalar graphs) can now be + loaded onto alignments via the Annotation + File. Additionally, the Annotation + Colouring dialog box allows an alignment to be coloured based on + any of the graphed quantities with which it is annotated.
+Rendering speed has been improved by disabling anti-aliasing via
+ the Smooth Fonts
+ option in the View
+ menu (its default set in Preferences). In addition, response
+ times when editing alignments can be reduced by turning off the automatic
+ calculation of amino acid property Consensus (which has been
+ reintroduced to the Calculate menu as Autocalculate Consensus).
