</ul>
<p><strong>Issues Resolved (a select list)</strong></p>
<ul>
- Aligned cDNA translation to aligned peptide works correctly<br>
- selected region output includes visible annotations (for
- certain formats)<br>
- edit label/displaychar contains existing label/char for
- editing<br>
- Newick tree support improved for clustalW trees and preserving NHX style comments<br>
- Pathological filechooser bug avoided by not allowing
- filenames containing a ':'<br>
- Fixed exception when parsing GFF files containing global
- sequence features<br>
- Reference counting for alignment datasets<br>
- better reporting of non-fatal warnings and error messages to user when file
- parsing fails.<br>
- Save works when Jalview project is default format<br>
- Histidine should be midblue (not pink!) in Zappo<br>
- Undo recovers dataset sequence metadata when sequence
- regions are cut<br>
- PDB files without pdb ID HEADER lines (like those
- generated by MODELLER) are read in properly<br>
- Stockholm annotation parsing fixed and improved (PFAM records)<br>
- Re-instated Full AMSA support and .amsa file association (MyHits)<br>
- annotation consisting of sequence associated scores can be
- read and written correctly to annotation file<br>
- Fixed display of hidden sequence markers and non-italic font
- for representatives in Applet<br>
- Applet Menus are always embedded in applet window on Macs.</br>
- Newly shown features appear at top of stack (in Applet)</br>
- Secondary structure lines are drawn starting from first
- column of alignment<br>
- Uniprot XML import updated for new schema release in July 2008<br>
- Sequence feature to sequence ID match for Features file is case-insensitive<br>
- Sequence features read from Features file appended to all sequences with matching IDs<br>
- PDB structure coloured correctly for associated views containing a sub-sequence<br>
- Display name and local features preserved in results retrieved from web service<br>
- Visual delay indication for sequence retrieval and sequence fetcher initialisation<br>
- Updated Application to use DAS 1.53e version of dasobert DAS client
+ <ul>
+ Source field in GFF files parsed as feature source rather
+ than description<br/>
+ Non-positional features are now included in sequence feature
+ and gff files (controlled via non-positional feature visibility in
+ tooltip).<br/>
+ URL links generated for all feature links (bugfix)<br/>
+ Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
+ peptide product<br/>
+ Match case switch in find dialog box works for both sequence
+ ID and sequence string and query strings do not have to be in upper
+ case to match case-insensitively.<br/>
+ Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
+ documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
+ re-imported)<br/>
+ Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
+ subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.<br/>
+ </ul>
+ <em>Desktop Issues</em>
+ <ul>
+ Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval<br/>
+ PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly<br/>
+ Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS<br/>
+ Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
+ sources<br/>
+ Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
+ before alignment figures are generated.<br/>
+ Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first time.<br/>
+ User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview projects.<br/>
+ </ul>
