+What's new ?
+
+What's new ?
+If you are reading this then you will already have seen some of the recent changes
+ made to Jalview.
+ Jalview takes advantage of some of the more recent user interface developments
+ in the Java programming language. For instance Jalview is now a multi windowed
+ application, this keeps all your Jalview windows neatly together in one main
+ application window.
+If you were familiar with the original Jalview, here is a list of important
+ features you should know about the current development:
+
+ - Editing sequences is no longer the default when mouse clicking the alignment.
+ Instead, mouse clicking on the alignment creates a "selection region"
+ which may be full sequences or groups of residues.
+ - To insert or edit the gaps in one sequence in alignment, the
+ "Shift" key must be held down when dragging the mouse.
+ - To insert or edit gaps for a group of sequences, the
+ "Alt" key (or in X windows the "Control"
+ key) must be held down.
+ - Selecting colour schemes in the colour menu either sets just the
+ "background" colourscheme for the alignment, or - when
+ the tickbox "Apply colour to all groups" is ticked,
+ applies the scheme to the background and all groups defined on the alignment.
+ - Use the right mouse button (apple and click on the Mac) whilst
+ the pointer is within the selection area to access the "define" region menu to
+ define a new region, give it a name, and change its colourscheme and display
+ properties.
+ - Conservation is automatically updated whenever the alignment is edited
+ - There is no "quick draw" option
+ - Edits can be undone, and redone!
