+ <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
