- <strong>Jalview 2.11 - new installer and new capabilities</strong>
+ <strong>Jalview 2.11.1.3</strong>
</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>
+ <p>Jalview 2.11.1.3 is the third patch release, fixing a bug
+ introduced in last weeks Jalview 2.11.1.1 release affecting display
+ of Jalview's example project for some users. Together, these
+ releases include fixes for a number of critical bugs, and also contains a
+ handful of new features suggested by the Jalview community.</p>
<ul>
- <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 ej Technologies for providing a free open source project
- license for <a
- href="https://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html">install4j</a>,
- and also to <a
- href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Rings_Design">Three
- Rings Design</a> for Jalview's new over the air update system: <a
- href="https://github.com/threerings/getdown">Getdown</a>.</li>
- <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 <a
- href="features/importvcf.html">imported from a local VCF file</a>.</li>
- <li><em>Feature filters and attribute colourschemes</em>. A new
- <a href="features/featureschemes.html">Feature Display
- Settings</a> dialog allows filters and feature attribute based
- colourschemes to be constructed, and a new <em>filters</em> column
- added to the <a href="features/featuresettings.html">Feature
- Settings</a> dialog. Jalview's sequence feature datamodel has also
- been further optimised, and is now maintained as a separate
- library <em><a
- href="https://github.com/bartongroup/IntervalStoreJ">IntervalStoreJ</a></em></li>
- <li><em>Alternative tables for CDS translation</em>. The <a
- href="menus/alwcalculate.html">Translate as CDNA</a> option now
- offers alternative amino acid coding schemes.</li>
- <li><em>PCA plots stored in Jalview Projects</em><br />The <a
- href="calculations/pca.html">PCA viewer</a> user interface has
- also been improved.</li>
- <li><em>Backup files</em><br />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 <a
- href="features/preferences.html#backups">Backups tab</a> in
- Jalview's preferences dialog allows the number and format of
- backup filenames to be configured.</li>
+ <li>Shift+arrow keys navigate to next gap or residue in cursor
+ mode (enable with F2)</li>
+ <li>Support import of VCF 4.3 by updating HTSJDK from 2.12 to
+ 2.23</li>
+ <li>Improved recognition of GZipped files from local disk or
+ retrieved via the web</li>
+ <li>EMBL and EMBL CDS database records retrieved from the
+ European Nucleotide Archive's Data API as 'EMBL Flatfile' records</li>
+ <li>Improved <a href="logging.html">Java Console and
+ logging</a> to help track down problems
+ </li>
+ <li>Improved support for Hi-DPI (4K) screens when running on
+ Linux (Requires Java 11+)</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>Critical bug fixes include</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Jalview runs correctly when launched with Turkish language
+ settings</li>
+ <li>Peptide-to-CDS tracking broken when multiple EMBL gene
+ products shown for a single contig (such as viral genomes)</li>
+ <li>Errors encountered when processing variants from VCF files
+ yield "Error processing VCF: Format specifier '%s'" on the console</li>
+ <li>Count of features not shown can be wrong when there are
+ both DNA and Protein features mapped to the position under
+ the cursor</li>
+ <li>Sequence ID for reference sequence is clipped when Right
+ align Sequence IDs enabled</li>
+ <li>Find doesn't report matches that span hidden gapped columns</li>
+ <li>Jalview ignores file format parameter specifying output
+ format when exporting an alignment via the command line</li>
</ul>

- The full list of bugs fixed in this release can be found in the <a
- href="releases.html#Jalview.2.11.0">2.11 Release Notes</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>Jalview and Java 11, 13, and onwards</strong>
- </p>
- <p>The Jalview application comes bundled with its own independent
- Java installation. Version 2.11.0 includes an AdoptOpenJDK Java 1.8
- runtime which will be kept up to date. A Java 11 based installation
- is available from the Jalview development pages.</p>
- <p>
- <em>Saying goodbye...</em><br>Long time Jalview users will notice
- that this release no longer features the
- <em>Vamsas</em> desktop menu, or a <em>Distributed
- Annotation System (DAS)</em> 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.

- <em>Next up...</em><br /> 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 <a
- href="http://www.jalview.org/jalview-js/">JalviewJS web page</a>.
+ <strong>Known Issues</strong>
</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>We've had reports from a small number of windows 10 users
+ who see a warning dialog pop up when Jalview tries to save a new
+ version of an existing file. If you are affected by this bug and
+ this latest version of Jalview doesn't fix it, please let us know!</li>
+ <li>Co-located features exported and re-imported are ordered
+ differently when shown on alignment and in tooltips. (Also affects
+ v2.11.1.0)</li>
+ <li>Drag and drop of alignment file onto alignment window when
+ in a HiDPI scaled mode in Linux only works for the top left
+ quadrant of the alignment window</li>
+ </ul>
