- Jalview 2.11 - new installer and new capabilities + Jalview 2.11.1.3

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.

Jalview 2.11.1.3 is the third patch release in the 2.11.1 + series. Critical bugs resolved in this release include:

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 ej Technologies for providing a free open source project - license for install4j, - and also to Three - Rings Design for Jalview's new over the air update system: Getdown.
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.
Feature filters and attribute colourschemes. A new - Feature Display - Settings dialog allows filters and feature attribute based - colourschemes to be constructed, and a new filters column - added to the Feature - Settings dialog. Jalview's sequence feature datamodel has also - been further optimised, and is now maintained as a separate - library IntervalStoreJ (available at https://github.com/bartongroup/IntervalStoreJ)
Alternative tables for CDS translation. The Translate as cDNA option now - offers alternative amino acid coding schemes.
PCA plots stored in Jalview Projects. The PCA viewer user interface has - also been improved.
Backup files. Jalview will automatically - create backups when overwriting existing files, and - unlike with - earlier versions - should Jalview crash during a save, the original - file will be unaffected. The Backups tab in - Jalview's preferences dialog allows the number and format of - backup filenames to be configured.
Find doesn't highlight all motif matches for a sequence.
Mouse over highlighting, CDS reconstruction and problems + with virtual feature popups when working with linked CDS/Protein + alignments.
Result of aligning protein sequences linked to CDS results + in incorrect CDS alignment.
Jalview installer doesn't correctly install Jalview on + paths containing spaces.

- The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.11 Release Notes. + For the full release notes, see the Jalview 2.11.1.3 + release notes.

- Jalview and Java 11, and onwards -

The Jalview application comes bundled with its own independent - Java installation. Version 2.11.0 includes an AdoptOpenJDK Java 1.8 - runtime which will be kept up to date. A Java 11 based installation - is available from the Jalview development pages.

- Saying goodbye...
Long time Jalview users will notice - that this release no longer features the - Vamsas desktop menu, or a Distributed - Annotation System (DAS) tab on the feature settings dialog. - DAS is no longer supported by major bioinformatics databases, and we - decided that it was no longer feasible to maintain either JDAS or - the VAMSAS client library which rely on out-dated Java XML binding - technologies. -

- Next up...
Keep an eye on the Jalview web site for - news about JalviewJS - the web based JavaScript implementation of - Jalview. Whilst Jalview 2.11 has been in development, we have also - been working with Prof. Bob Hanson (Jmol and JSmol) to enable - Jalview to run as both a Java application and a JavaScript app in a - web page. To find out more, open http://www.jalview.org/jalview-js/ - in Chrome or Firefox. + Known Issues

We've had reports from a small number of windows 10 users + who see a warning dialog pop up when Jalview tries to save a new + version of an existing file. If you are affected by this bug and + this latest version of Jalview doesn't fix it, please let us know!
Co-located features exported and re-imported are ordered + differently when shown on alignment and in tooltips. (Also affects + v2.11.1.0)
Drag and drop of alignment file onto alignment window when + in a HiDPI scaled mode in Linux only works for the top left + quadrant of the alignment window.
