+ Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features
+
+ 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+
+ The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the 2.11 Release Notes.
+
+
+ Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards
+
+ Java 11 provides improved performance and better OS
+ integration, so we now recommend users select our Java 11 Jalview
+ distribution rather than the legacy Java 8 build.
+ Known Issues - update for 211
+
+ - OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
+ appears with the title 'Save As', and attempting to select a file
+ to load yields a FileNotFound exception.The workaround is to first
+ clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish
+ to load.
+
+ - OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence
+ or Alignment window popup menu.
+ - OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items
