- <strong>Jalview 2.11.1.0</strong>
+ <strong>Jalview 2.11.1.5</strong>
</p>
+ <p>Jalview 2.11.1.5 is a critical patch release that updates one
+ of the open source components, log4j, that Jalview relies on. The
+ update addresses the widely reported log4shell security
+ vunerability. This release also addresses a bug in the occupancy
+ calculation that occurs when working with alignments of more than
+ 32,000 sequences.</p>
<p>
- Jalview 2.11.1.0 is the first minor release for the 2.11 series.
- Along with a number of critical bug fixes and improvements it brings
- new functionality for mapping sequence features between CDS and
- Protein alignments. It is also the first release made under a new <em>four</em>
- number versioning scheme, which will allow us to keep track of
- patches and bug fixes.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Virtual Features</strong><br />In previous
- versions of Jalview, specific nucleotide sequence features such as
- genomic variants and exons were transferred to protein products on
- import. Jalview 2.11.1 instead provides 'virtual features' that
- can be enabled and overlaid on linked CDS/Protein views via their
- <a href="features/splitView.html#virtualfeats">Sequence
- Features dialog</a>. This allows more analyses of nucleotide and
- peptide sequence features on alignments in a more flexible and
- memory efficient way than in earlier versions.</li>
- <li><strong>Improved VCF data import</strong><br /> <a
- href="features/importvcf.html#attribs">Standard attributes for
- filtering variants</a> (e.g. position, QUAL field etc) are now
- extracted from VCF files. This new feature was suggested by a user
- at the Jalview booth during ISMB 2019.</li>
- <li><strong>Extended feature attributes are exported
- in GFF3</strong><br />Complex attributes from VCF files can be exported
- and imported via GFF3</li>
- <li><strong>Updated Jalview Installer and Launcher</strong><br />Jalview's
- installation packages are now built with Install4j 8, which brings
- better support for Linux and improved control of file
- associations. New <a href="memory.html#jvm">parameters on the
- Jalview launcher</a> allow an upper memory limit to be specified <em>via</em>
- a Jalview launch file, to prevent it from hogging your system.</li>
- </ul>
