-What's new
-If you can read this then you'll 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 will create a "selection region"
- which may be full sequences or groups of residues.
- - To edit a sequence, the "Shift" key must be held down
- - To edit groups, either the "Alt" key or the "Control"
- key must be held down.
- - Colours maybe applied to the background, ie the whole alignment, or to selected
- regions. If the tickbox "Apply colour to all groups" is ticked (this
- is the defualt), then the colour will be applied to all groups.
- - Use the right mouse button (apple and click on the mac) to define a selected
- region on the alignment as a new group.
- - Conservation is automatically updated whenever the alignment is edited
- - There is no "quick draw" option
- - Edits can be undone! (and redone)

+ Jalview 2.8 includes a number of enhancements and new features that
+ have been in development since July 2010. It is also the first Jalview
+ release to incorporate RNA visualization features developed by Lauren
+ Lui and Jan Engelhart during their Google Summer of Code projects
+ (http://code.google.com/soc/). As usual you can find the highlights
+ below, but to see the comprehensive list take a look at the look at
+ the Jalview 2.8 Release Notes.
+
+ Highlights in Jalview Version 2.8
+
+ - Improved JABAWS
+ client and new JABAWS 2.0 Services
+
+
+ - RNA
+
+ - Import sequence and alignment associated WUSS or VIENNA
+ dot-bracket notation from files and the RFAM
+ database
+
+ - Interactive editing of RNA secondary structure annotation
+ - Colour scheme for purine/pyrimidine and to highlight RNA
+ helices
+ - RNA canonical base pair consensus
+ score and sequence logo
+
+ - Embedded VARNA RNA
+ secondary structure viewer in the Desktop
+
+
+ - Parse and display T-COFFEE
+ alignment quality scores (thanks to Paolo di Tomasso of the Notredame
+ Group)
+
+ - Per
+ sequence alignment annotation shading
+ - Enhanced PCA viewer: more
+ export options, and switch between different PCA modes and residue
+ score models
+
+ - New Jalview Desktop database
+ fetcher GUI
+
+ - Support for DAS 1.6 and DAS 2.0 sources (thanks to the new
+ JDAS Distributed Annotation client library (see
+ http://code.google.com/p/jdas))
+ - Export sequence database annotation as an HTML report
+ - Normalised Sequence
+ Logo Display
+
+
+ Issues resolved in the Jalview Desktop
+
+
+ - PDB, Unprot and EMBL (ENA) databases retrieved via wsdbfetch
+ REST service
+ - Stop windows being moved outside desktop on OSX
+ - Jnet job queues forever if a very short sequence is submitted
+ for prediction
+ - Structure view highlighting doesn't work on windows 7
+ - Jalview desktop fails to launch with exception when using
+ proxy
+ - DAS Sequence retrieval with range qualification results in
+ sequence xref which includes range qualification
+ - Cannot close news reader when JABAWS server warning dialog is
+ shown
+ - Edited sequence not submitted to web service
+ - Jalview 2.7 InstallAnywhere installer doesn't unpack and run
+ on OSX Mountain Lion
+
+ - If you use webstart then you may need to go into the

+ Settings, and select the 'allow any code to run' option.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Issues specific to the JalviewLite Applet
+
+
+ - Sequence features are momentarily displayed before they are
+ hidden using hidefeaturegroups applet parameter
+ - loading features via javascript API automatically enables
+ feature display
+ - scrollToColumnIn javascript API method doesn't work
+
+
+ Issues affecting both applet and application
+
+
+ - Redundancy removal fails for rna alignment
+ - PCA window shows grey box when first opened on OSX
+ - Letters coloured pink in sequence logo when alignment
+ coloured with clustalx
