Create sequence features from searches. - Previously results from searches were added as alignment positions, which was - wrong. Now the search results are saved as sequence features and their visibility - and colour can be modified using the Sequence - Feature Settings window.
-Precalculated annotations can be loaded onto alignments. The Annotation - File format is a tab delimited set of values.
-Features file allows grouping of - features. The Sequence Feature Settings - window then makes it very easy to set the visibility of groups of features. -
-Annotation Colouring - scheme added. A new colour scheme which colours columns on a per-column value.
-Smooth fonts off by default - faster rendering. Toggle on / off from the View - menu, or can be set in Preferences.
- Choose to toggle Autocalculate Consensus On/Off from the Calculate menu.
+ Previously, the regions of sequences highlighted as the result of
+ searches were added as new regions in the alignment. Now, the sequence region
+ selected by a search can be used to define named sequences features
+ attached to the sequence, rather than the alignment.
+
Sequence feature display and rendering has also been enhanced, with + the addition of sequence feature groups (which can be used to show + or hide a set of features en masse) and user defined + feature colours as well as transparency controls, using the Sequence Feature Settings + window. The Features file + has also been extended to accomodate these enhancements.
+Alignment annotation and colouring is also considerably + enhanced. Precalculated symbolic and quantitative annotations (text labels, + secondary structure symbols and multiple scalar graphs) can now be + loaded onto alignments via the Annotation + File. Additionally, the Annotation + Colouring dialog box allows an alignment to be coloured based on + any of the graphed quantities with which it is annotated.
+Rendering speed has been improved by disabling anti-aliasing via
+ the Smooth Fonts
+ option in the View
+ menu (its default set in Preferences). In addition, response
+ times when editing alignments can be reduced by turning off the automatic
+ calculation of amino acid property Consensus (which has been
+ reintroduced to the Calculate menu as Autocalculate Consensus).
