- What's new in Jalview 2.10.3b1 ? -

- This is the January 2018 patch release, which addresses critical bugs in Version 2.10.3 (released November 2017). - The bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.10.3b1 - Release Notes. -

The highlights for Jalview 2.10.3 include: + Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features

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.

Faster and more responsive UI when importing and working - with wide alignments and handling hundreds and thousands of - sequence features
Improved usability with PDB and UniProt Free Text - Search dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of - IDs. -
Short names assigned to sequences retrieved from UniProt
Groovy console upgraded to 2.4.12 (improved support for Java 9)
VCF Support. 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.
The Jalview Launcher and Update System
+ 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.
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.

- Experimental Features + The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.11 Release Notes.

- Remember, please enable the Experimental Features option in - the Jalview Desktop's Tools menu, and then restart Jalview - if you want to try out features below: + Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards

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.

+ Known Issues - update for 211

Annotation transfer between Chimera and Jalview
Two - new entries in - the Chimera viewer's Chimera menu allow positional annotation to - be exchanged between Chimera and Jalview.
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.
The workaround is to first + clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish + to load. +
OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence + or Alignment window popup menu.
OSX (Webstart): JalviewÂ only displays old news feed items
