- Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features
+ Jalview 2.11 - new installer and new capabilities
Jalview 2.11 introduces support for loading VCF files, and new
filters and shading models for sequence features. Under the hood,
we've addressed many bugs, and also made some important changes in
the way the Jalview desktop is installed and launched.
The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards
The Jalview application comes bundled with its own independent
- Java installation which will be updated automatically from
- www.jalview.org. Version 2.11.0 includes an AdoptOpenJDK Java 1.8
- runtime, but installations will be migrated to the latest Java
- release once remaining issues have been addressed.

Jalview's new installation model means you'll only need to
download and install Jalview once. After installation, Jalview
will automatically keep itself up to date. The launcher also sets
Jalview's memory automatically, so you'll never again have to
manually configure Java's memory settings.
We are grateful
- to Install4J who provided us with a free license for their
- installation system, and Jalview's over the air update system is
- based on Three Rings' Getdown system.
The PCA viewer user interface has
+ also been improved.
Jalview will automatically
create backups when overwriting existing files, and - unlike with
earlier versions, should Jalview crash during a save, the original
- file will be unaffected.
The PCA
- viewer has also been enhanced and the user interface revised.
+ Saying goodbye...
Long time Jalview users will notice
+ that this release no longer features the
+ Vamsas desktop menu, or a Distributed
+ Annotation System (DAS) tab on the feature settings dialog.
+ DAS is no longer supported by major bioinformatics databases, and we
+ decided that it was no longer feasible to maintain either JDAS or
+ the VAMSAS client library which rely on out-dated Java XML binding
+ technologies.
+
+ Next up...
Keep an eye on the Jalview web site for
+ news about JalviewJS - the web based JavaScript implementation of
+ Jalview. Whilst Jalview 2.11 has been in development, we have also
+ been working with Prof. Bob Hanson (Jmol and JSmol) to enable
+ Jalview to run as both a Java application and a JavaScript app in a
+ web page. To find out more, see the JalviewJS web page.
