- <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>
