-<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>

+ <strong>What's new ?</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Jalview 2.7 release features new web services, and important
+ improvements to the way in which Jalview handles alignments and
+ associated PDB structures, as well as numerous minor improvements and
+ bug fixes. Version 2.7 of the JalviewLite applet also features a
+ significantly enhanced Javascript API enabling it to be more easily
+ integrated with javascript based web applications. <br /> For full
+ details see the <a href="releases.html#Jalview2.7">Jalview 2.7
+ release history</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Highlights in Jalview Desktop Version 2.7</strong>
+ </p>
<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/>
+ <li>New <a href="features/viewingpdbs.html">structure viewer
+ options</a>:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Colour and superimpose 3D structures of complexes and
+ multi-domain chains using several different alignments</li>
+ <li>Drag and drop to associate PDB files with sequences that
+ have the same name</li>
+ <li>Open and superimpose all associated structures for the
+ current selection</li>
+ </ul>
+ <li>New web services for <a href="webServices/shmr.html">alignment
+ analysis</a></li>
+ <li>Improved graphical user interface for <a
+ href="http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws">JABAWS</a>services.
+ </li>
+ <li>Sort associated alignment views option in tree viewer</li>
+ <li>Default colours for <a
+ href="colourSchemes/annotationColouring.html">shading alignment
+ by quantitative annotation</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li><a href="webServices/newsreader.html">Jalview Desktop RSS
+ reader</a> - following important updates at <a
+ href="http://www.jalview.org/feeds/desktop/rss">http://www.jalview.org/feeds/desktop/rss</a>
</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>
