-<p><strong>What's new ?</strong> </p>\r
-<p>Jalview Version 2.08</p>\r
-<p> <a href="editing/index.html">Editing</a> can be locked to the selection area. \r
- Any edits made within the locked area do not affect the rest of the alignment.</p>\r
-<p> Keyboard editing - press F2 to toggle <a href="features/cursorMode.html">cursor mode</a> On / Off. For a full list \r
- of keyboard controls, look <a href="keys.html">here</a>.</p>\r
-<p> <a href="features/search.html">Create sequence features from searches</a>. \r
- Previously, the regions of sequences highlighted as the result of\r
- searches were added as new regions in the alignment. Now, the sequence region\r
- selected by a search can be used to define named sequences features\r
- attached to the sequence, rather than the alignment.\r
- </p>\r
-<p>Sequence feature display and rendering has also been enhanced, with\r
- the addition of sequence feature groups (which can be used to show\r
- or hide a set of feature types <em>en masse</em>) and user defined\r
- feature colours as well as transparency controls, using the <a\r
- href="features/seqfeatures.html">Sequence Feature Settings</a>\r
- window. The <a href="features/featuresFormat.html">Features file</a>\r
- has also been extended to accomodate these enhancements.</p>\r
-<p>Alignment annotation and colouring is also considerably\r
- enhanced. Precalculated symbolic and quantitative annotations (text labels,\r
- secondary structure symbols and multiple scalar graphs) can now be\r
- loaded onto alignments via the <a\r
- href="features/annotationsFormat.html">Annotation\r
- File</a>. Additionally, the <a\r
- href="colourSchemes/annotationColouring.html">Annotation\r
- Colouring</a> dialog box allows an alignment to be coloured based on\r
- any of the graphed quantities with which it is annotated.</p>\r
-<p>Rendering speed has been improved by disabling anti-aliasing via\r
- the <strong>Smooth Fonts</strong>\r
- option in the <strong>View \r
- menu</strong> (its default set in <strong>Preferences</strong>). In addition, response\r
- times when editing alignments can be reduced by turning off the automatic\r
- calculation of amino acid property Consensus (which has been\r
- reintroduced to the <strong>Calculate</strong> menu as <strong>Autocalculate Consensus</strong>).<br>\r
-</p>\r
-<p><strong>Issues Resolved</strong></p>\r
-<ul>\r
-<li>Drag & Drop now works on common Linux desktops (at least KDE\r
-and Gnome)</li>\r
-<li>Jalview XML Archive Input/Output is now faster (using an\r
-internal Jalview schema), and sequence description strings are now\r
-preserved in the archive.</li>\r
-<li>Jalview can now correctly read and write <a\r
-href="http://salilab.org/modeller/modeller.html">MODELLER</a> style\r
-PIR description lines for proteins with a PDB reference.\r
-</li>\r
-</ul>\r
-<p>See the <a href="releases.html">Release History</a> page for details of all\r
- new features and resolved issues. </p>\r

+ <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Jalview 2.9 has been in development since December 2014. In addition
+ to a multitude of bug fixes and minor improvements (both small, and
+ rather big!), it also brings major new capabilities for codon-level
+ analysis of protein alignments and the retrieval and manipulation of
+ structural data.</p><p>For the full list of changes, see the
+ <a href="releases.html#Jalview.2.9">Jalview 2.9 Release Notes</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Highlights in Jalview 2.9</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Visualisation, editing and analysis of
+ cDNA and Protein alignments</strong><br />A new <a
+ href="features/splitView.html">Split View</a> window allows linked
+ protein and nucleotide sequence alignments to be viewed, edited,
+ and analysed as one. <br />cDNA alignments can also be
+ reconstructed from protein alignments calculated by Jalview's web
+ services, and update in response to edits in the amino acid view.<br />To
+ start experimenting with cDNA/Protein analysis, jut drop a file
+ containing cDNA sequences which code for proteins in an existing
+ alignment, and Jalview will do the rest.</li>
+ <li><strong>Enhanced Integration of UCSF Chimera</strong> <br>Jalview
+ 2.9 provides full support for the use of Chimera to view 3D
+ structures linked to alignment views in the Jalview Desktop. We've
+ also included support for saving Chimera sessions in Jalview
+ project files.<br />Jalview and Chimera communicate using local
+ web server connections, which may cause firewall alerts on some
+ systems, but has the advantage of allowing bidirectional
+ communication. Communication between Jalview and Chimera is now
+ much more responsive, and selected regions in Chimera are now
+ shown as highlighted regions in the Jalview desktop.</li>
+ <li><strong>Interactive querying of the PDBe</strong><br />Jalview
+ users can now <a href="features/pdbsequencefetcher.html">browse</a> and <a href="features/viewingpdbs.html">retrieve 3D structure</a> data from the PDB
+ via the <a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/api/doc/search.html">PDBe
+ Search API</a> (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1093%2Fnar%2Fgkt1180">Gutmanas
+ et al 2014</a>). Developed in collaboration with the PDBe group at
+ EMBL-EBI, the interface allows both structured and free-text
+ queries to be performed, and allows automatic selection of the
+ most relevant structures for an alignment acording to a variety of
+ criteria.</li>
+ <li><strong>Improved support for RNA visualisation</strong><br />Jalview
+ 2.9 integrates the latest version of the <a
+ href="features/varna.html">VARNA RNA Viewer</a>, and VARNA views
+ can also now be stored in Jalview projects. We've also dealt with
+ a number of lingering bugs in the VARNA/Jalview interface,
+ including the loss of pseudoknots when RNA secondary structure is
+ shown VARNA.</li>
+ <li><strong>Protein Secondary Structure predictions
+ with JPred4</strong><br />Jalview includes a number of new features for
+ working with secondary structure predictions from the JPred4
+ server. These include new <a href="menus/popupMenu.html#hideinserts">popup menu actions</a> to automatically hide insertions and highlight
+ mutations in an alignment with respect to a <a href="calculations/referenceseq.html">Reference
+ Sequence</a>. Jalview 2.9's new <a href="io/export.html#htmlexport">scrollable
+ SVG HTML export</a> was also developed specifically for the JPred4
+ server.</li>
+ </ul>
