- <strong>Jalview 2.11 - major and minor new features</strong>
+ <strong>Welcome to Jalview Version $$Version-Rel$$ !!</strong><br/>
</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <ul>
- <li><em>VCF Support</em>. Proteins and genomic contigs with
- chromosomal location annotation (such as protein coding genes
- retrieved from Ensembl) can be annotated with variants imported
- from a local VCF file.</li>
- <li><em>The Jalview Launcher and Update System</em><br />
- 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.<br />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
- via Getdown.</li>
- </ul>
+<p>Jalview 2.11.2.2 is the second patch release in the 2.11.2 series.</p>
+
<p>
- The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11">2.11 Release Notes</a>.
+ This release series provides support for two popular 3D
+ structure visualisation tools, new features for discovery of 3D
+ structures, improved platform integration and a new command line
+ tool allowing Jalview to be more easily called from scripts.</p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>View predicted protein structures via 3D-Beacons</strong> <br>
+ Jalview 2.11.2's <a href="features/structurechooser.html">Structure
+ Chooser includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network</a>. Launched in
+ 2021, the 3D-Beacons network (<a
+ href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/">www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/</a>)
+ provides a central point for the retrieval of predicted and observed
+ 3D structures for sequences in Uniprot, including homology models
+ from Swiss-model and deep learning based predictions from the EBI's
+ Alphafold database (Orengo et al. 2020, <a
+ href="https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.20559.1">doi:10.12688/f1000research.20559.1</a>).<br>
</p>
+
<p>
- <strong>Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards</strong>
+ <strong>Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
+ Pymol</strong><br> Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
+ re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
+ viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera communications
+ library developed by Scooter Morris (<a
+ href="https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329">doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329</a>).<br /> <br />
+ The <a href="features/preferences.html#structure">Structures
+ Preferences tab</a> provides new options allowing ChimeraX and
+ Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D structures. Views
+ from all structure viewers are saved in Jalview Projects, allowing
+ them to be shared with others using Jalview 2.11.2 or later,
+ providing they have the same viewer installed and configured to be
+ used with Jalview.<br/><br/>Jalview
+ 2.11.2 has been tested with <strong>Pymol 2.5.0 (community)</strong> and <strong>2.5.2
+ (incentive)</strong>. For <strong>ChimeraX, we recommend using v1.3 or later</strong>.
</p>
- <p>Java 11 provides improved performance and better OS
- integration, so we now recommend users select our Java 11 Jalview
- distribution rather than the legacy Java 8 build.</p>
- <em>Known Issues - update for 211 </em>
+ <p>Other highlights include:</p>
<ul>
- <li>OSX: The 'Open File' dialog for Jalview's Groovy Console
- appears with the title 'Save As', and attempting to select a file
- 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>Import of annotated DNA and RNA loci via GenBank and EMBL
+ style flatfile</li>
+ <li><strong>Easier configuration of <a
+ href="features/preferences.html#startup">Jalview's memory
+ allocation</a></strong></li>
+ <li>Scripts for <a href="features/commandline.html">running
+ Jalview via the command line</a> on macOS, Linux/Unix and Windows.
</li>
- <li>OSX: Links don't open when clicked on or via the Sequence
- or Alignment window popup menu.</li>
- <li>OSX (Webstart): Jalview only displays old news feed items</li>
</ul>

+ href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11.2.1">the Jalview 2.11.2.1
+ release notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Known Issues</strong> <br />The following known issues will
+ be addressed in a minor patch release.
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Display of RESNUM sequence features are not suppressed when
+ structures associated with a sequence are viewed with an external
+ viewer (Regression from 2.11.1 series)</li>
+ </ul>
