-<p><strong>What's new ?</strong></p>
-<p><strong>Highlights in Jalview Version 2.5</strong></p>
-<ul>
- Linked viewing of nucleic acid sequences and structures<br/>
- Automatic Scrolling option in View menu to display the
- currently highlighted region of an alignment.<br/>
- Order an alignment by sequence length, or using the average score or total feature count for each sequence.<br/>
- Shading features by score or associated description<br/>
- Subdivide alignment and groups based on identity of selected subsequence (Make Groups from Selection).<br/>
- New hide/show options including Shift+Control+H to hide everything but the currently selected region.<br/>
-</ul>
-<em>Jalview Desktop:</em>
-<ul>
- Fetch DB References capabilities and UI expanded to support
- retrieval from DAS sequence sources<br/>
- Enable or disable non-positional feature and database
- references in sequence ID tooltip from View menu in application.<br/>
- Group-associated consensus, sequence logos and conservation
- plots<br/>
- Symbol distributions for each column can be exported and
- visualized as sequence logos<br/>
- Jalview Java Console<br/>
- New webservice for submitting sequences and IDs to <a
- href="webServices/index.html#envision2">Envision2</a> Workflows<br/>
- Improved VAMSAS synchronization and sharing of selections.<br/>
-</ul>
-<em>JalviewLite:</em>
-<ul>
- Middle button resizes annotation row height<br/>
- New Parameters - including default tree display settings.<br/>
- Non-positional features displayed in ID tooltip<br/>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Issues Resolved (a select list)</strong></p>
-<ul>
- <ul>
- Source field in GFF files parsed as feature source rather
- than description<br/>
- Non-positional features are now included in sequence feature
- and gff files (controlled via non-positional feature visibility in
- tooltip).<br/>
- URL links generated for all feature links (bugfix)<br/>
- Codons containing ambiguous nucleotides translated as 'X' in
- peptide product<br/>
- Match case switch in find dialog box works for both sequence
- ID and sequence string and query strings do not have to be in upper
- case to match case-insensitively.<br/>
- Jalview Annotation File generation/parsing consistent with
- documentation (e.g. Stockholm annotation can be exported and
- re-imported)<br/>
- Find incrementally searches ID string matches as well as
- subsequence matches, and correctly reports total number of both.<br/>
- </ul>
- <em>Desktop Issues</em>
- <ul>
- Better handling of exceptions during sequence retrieval<br/>
- PDB files retrieved from URLs are cached properly<br/>
- Sequence description lines properly shared via VAMSAS<br/>
- Sequence fetcher fetches multiple records for all data
- sources<br/>
- Ensured that command line das feature retrieval completes
- before alignment figures are generated.<br/>
- Reduced time taken when opening file browser for first time.<br/>
- User defined group colours properly recovered from Jalview projects.<br/>
- </ul>
-</ul>
