-
Improved usability with PDB and - UniProt Free Text Search - dialog, and new tab for retrieval of sequences for lists of IDs.
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.
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 + Install4J who provided us with a free license for their + installation system, and Jalview's over the air update system is + via Getdown.

- Experimental Features + The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.11 Release Notes.
