-  <p>Java 11 provides improved performance and better OS

-    <li>OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console

-      to load yields a FileNotFound exception.</br>The workaround is to first
-      clear the 'Untitled' filename before selecting the file you wish
-      to load.

-    <li>OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence

-    <li>OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items</li>

+    release once remaining issues have been addressed.</p>
