+ - Added URL embedding instructions to features file
+ documentation.
+ - Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
+ peptide product

+ case to match case-insensitively.

+ column annotation labels
+ - Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
+ documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
+ re-imported)

+ - Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
+ subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.
+ - Application:
- - newView public method
- - Window (current view) specific get/set public methods
- - Feature display control methods
+ - Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval
+ - Dasobert generated non-positional feature URL link text
+ excludes the start_end suffix
+ - DAS feature and source retrieval buttons disabled when
+ fetch or registry operations in progress.
+ - PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly
+ - Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS
+ - Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
+ sources
+ - Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
+ before alignment figures are generated.
+ - Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first
+ time.
+ - isAligned check prior to calculating tree, PCA or
+ submitting an MSA to JNet now excludes hidden sequences.
+ - User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview
+ projects.

+ of sequence.
+ - Allow synthetic PDB files to be imported gracefully
+ - Sequence associated annotation rows associate with all
+ sequences with a given id
+ - Find function matches case-insensitively for sequence ID
+ string searches
