Release History

+ General +

+ 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 +
Improved overview window +
- + Efficiency improvements for + interacting with alignment and overview windows +
- + Linked scrolling of CDS/Protein + views via Overview or sequence motif search operations +
- + Scrolling of wrapped alignment views + via overview +
- + Hidden columns and sequences can be + omitted in Overview +
- + Click-drag in visible area allows + fine adjustment of visible position +
+
+ 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 +
+ 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. +
+ File extension pruned from Sequence ID + for sequences derived from structure files without + embedded database accession +
+ Status bar message shown when not enough + aligned positions were available to create a 3D structure + superposition. +
+ More robust per-sequence positional + annotation input/output via stockholm flatfile +

+ 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 +
+ URLs for viewing database + cross-references provided by identifiers.org and the + EMBL-EBI's MIRIAM DB +
+ 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 +
+ Structures imported via URL are cached in + the Jalview project rather than downloaded again when the + project is reopened. +

+ 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 +
+ External service integration tests for + Uniprot REST Free Text Search Client +
+ Scripting +
- + FileFormatI interface for describing + and identifying file formats (instead of String + constants) +
- + FeatureCounter script refactored for + efficiency when counting all displayed features (not + backwards compatible with 2.10.1) +
+

+ 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 +
+ Fixed off-by-one bug that affected + scaling of branch lengths for trees computed using + Sequence Feature Similarity. +
+ Reopening Colour by annotation dialog + doesn't reselect a specific sequence's associated + annotation after it was used for colouring a view +

+ Sequence features shown in tooltip for + gaps before start of features +

+ Per-sequence RNA secondary structures + added after a sequence was imported are not written to + Stockholm File +
+ WUSS notation for simple pseudoknots lost + when importing RNA secondary structure via Stockholm +
+ Secondary structure arrows for [] and {} + not shown in correct direction for simple pseudoknots +
