Release History

General

- Improved memory usage: sparse arrays used - for all consensus calculations + Revised implementation of PCA for speed + and memory efficiency (~30x faster) +
+ Revised implementation of sequence + similarity scores as used by Tree, PCA, Shading Consensus + and other calculations +
- + Score matrices are stored as resource + files within the Jalview codebase +
- + Trees computed on Sequence Feature + Similarity may have different topology due to + increased precision +
+
+ Tree/PCA calculation menu items merged to + a calculation dialog box +
+ More robust colours and shader + model for alignments and groups +
+ Custom shading schemes created via groovy + scripts +
+ linked scrolling of CDS/Protein views + via Overview or sequence motif search operations +
+ Efficiency improvements for interacting + with alignment and overview windows +
+ Hidden columns and sequences can be + omitted in Overview +
+ Posterior probability annotation from + Stockholm files imported as sequence associated annotation +
+ Sequence names don't include file + extension when importing structure files without embedded + names or PDB accessions +
+ Amend sequence features dialog box can be + opened by double clicking gaps within sequence feature + extent
- Updated Jmol shipped with applet and - desktop to 14.6.4 + Graduated feature colour style example + included in the example feature file
+ Occupancy annotation row shows number of + ungapped positions in each column of the alignment. +
+ Status bar message shown when not enough + aligned positions were available to create a 3D structure + superposition. +

+ Application +

+ Experimental Features Checkbox in + Desktop's Tools menu to hide or show untested features in + the application. +
+ Warning in alignment status bar when + there are not enough columns to superimpose structures in + Chimera +
+ Faster Chimera/Jalview communication by + file-based command exchange +

+ Updated JABAWS client to v2.2 +
+ Drag and drop load of AAIndex and NCBI + format sequence substitution matrices +
+ Structure chooser automatically shows Cached Structures rather than querying the PDBe if structures are already available for sequences +

+ Experimental features +

+ New entries in the Chimera menu + to transfer Chimera's structure attributes as Jalview + features, and vice-versa. +

+ Applet +

+ Test Suite +

+ Added PrivilegedAccessor to test suite +
+ Prevent or clear modal dialogs raised + during tests +
+ Scripting +
- + FileFormatI interface for describing + and identifying file formats (instead of String + constants) +

+

+ General +

+ Fixed incorrect value in BLOSUM 62 score + matrix - C->R should be '-3'
Old matrix restored + with this one-line groovy script:
jalview.analysis.scoremodels.ScoreModels.instance.BLOSUM62.@matrix[4][1]=3 +
+ Fixed Jalview's treatment of gaps in PCA + and substitution matrix based Tree calculations.
In + earlier versions of Jalview, gaps matching gaps were + penalised, and gaps matching non-gaps penalised even more. + In the PCA calculation, gaps were actually treated as + non-gaps - so different costs were applied, which meant + Jalview's PCAs were different to those produced by + SeqSpace.
Jalview now treats gaps in the same way as + SeqSpace (ie it scores them as 0). To restore pre-2.10.2 + behaviour
+ jalview.viewmodel.PCAModel.scoreGapAsAny=true // for + 2.10.1 mode
+ jalview.viewmodel.PCAModel.scoreGapAsAny=false // to + restore 2.10.2 mode +
+ Reopening Colour by annotation dialog + doesn't reselect a specific sequence's associated + annotation after it was used for colouring a view +
+ Hidden regions in alignment views are not + coloured in linked structure views +
+ Current selection lost if popup menu + opened on a region of alignment without groups +
+ Popup menu not always shown for regions + of an alignment with overlapping groups +
+ Finder double counts if both a sequence's + name and description match +
+ Hiding column selection containing two + hidden regions results in incorrect hidden regions +
+ PCA calculation could hang when + generating output report when working with highly + redundant alignments +
+ Cannot configure feature colours with + lightGray or darkGray via features file +
+ Overview window visible region moves + erratically when hidden rows or columns are present +
+ Per-residue colourschemes applied via the + Structure Viewer's colour menu don't correspond to + sequence colouring +
+ Protein specific colours only offered in + colour and group colour menu for protein alignments +
+ 'Apply to all groups' setting when + changing colour does not apply Conservation slider value + to all groups +
+ Colour threshold slider doesn't update to + reflect currently selected view or group's shading + thresholds +
+ Percentage identity and conservation menu + items do not show a tick or allow shading to be disabled +
+ Conservation shading or PID threshold + lost when base colourscheme changed if slider not visible +
+ Sequence features shown in tooltip for + gaps before start of features +
+ Very large alignments take a long time to + load +
+ Graduated feature colour threshold not + restored to UI when feature colour is edited +
+ Feature colour thresholds not respected + when rendered on overview and structures when opacity at + 100% +
+ Structure and alignment overview update + as graduate feature colour settings are modified via the + dialog box +
+ Vertical scrollbar jumps one page-width at + a time when scrolling vertically in wrapped mode. +
+ Overview window doesn't always update + when a group defined on the alignment is resized +
+ Mouseovers on left/right scale region in + wrapped view result in positional status updates +
+ Status bar shows position for ambiguous + amino acid and nucleotide symbols +
+ Copy consensus sequence failed if + alignment included gapped columns +
+ User defined gap colour not shown in + overview when features overlaid on alignment +
+ +
