- Jalview 2.11 - new installer and new capabilities
+ Welcome to Jalview Version $$Version-Rel$$ !!
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.
-This is a patch release for the Jalview 2.11.2 series.
+This release series provides support for two popular 3D + structure visualisation tools, new features for discovery of 3D + structures, improved platform integration and a new command line + tool allowing Jalview to be more easily called from scripts.
+
- The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.11 Release Notes.
+ View predicted protein structures via 3D-Beacons
+ Jalview 2.11.2's Structure
+ Chooser includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network. Launched in
+ 2021, the 3D-Beacons network (www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/)
+ provides a central point for the retrieval of predicted and observed
+ 3D structures for sequences in Uniprot, including homology models
+ from Swiss-model and deep learning based predictions from the EBI's
+ Alphafold database (Orengo et al. 2020, doi:10.12688/f1000research.20559.1).
- Jalview and Java 11, and onwards
+ Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
+ Pymol
Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
+ re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
+ viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera communications
+ library developed by Scooter Morris (doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329).
+ The Structures
+ Preferences tab provides new options allowing ChimeraX and
+ Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D structures. Views
+ from all structure viewers are saved in Jalview Projects, allowing
+ them to be shared with others using Jalview 2.11.2 or later,
+ providing they have the same viewer installed and configured to be
+ used with Jalview.
Jalview
+ 2.11.2 has been tested with Pymol 2.5.0 (community) and 2.5.2
+ (incentive). For ChimeraX, we recommend using v1.3 or later.
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.
+Other highlights include:
+
- 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.
