- <!-- JAL-3121 -->  Feature attributes from VCF files can be exported and re-imported as GFF3 files
- <!-- JAL-3376 -->  Capture VCF "fixed column" values POS, ID, QUAL, FILTER as Feature Attributes

- <!-- JAL-3533 -->  Feature Settings dialog keeps same screen position if reopened
- <!-- JAL-3535 -->  Feature Settings dialog title includes name of associated view
- <!-- JAL-3538 -->  Font anti-aliasing in alignment views enabled by default
- <!-- JAL-3468 -->  Very long feature descriptions truncated in tooltips and menus
- <!-- JAL-3549 -->  Warn if Sort by Score or Density attempted with no feature types visible
- <!-- JAL-3574 -->  Improved support for filtering feature attributes with large integer values


### Jalview Installer
- <!-- JAL-3449 -->  Versions for install4j and getdown and installer template version reported in console (may be null when Jalview launched as executable jar or via conda)

- <!-- JAL-3578 -->  ComputePeptideVariants.groovy to translate genomic sequence_variant annotation from CDS as missense_variant or synonymous_variant on protein products.


## Issues Resolved

- <!-- JAL-3581 -->  Hidden sequence markers still visible when 'Show hidden markers' option is not ticked
