New Features
User Interface
- Linked highlighting of codon and amino acid from translation and protein products
 - Linked highlighting of structure associated with residue mapping to codon position
 - Sequence Fetcher provides example accession numbers and ‘clear’ button
 - MemoryMonitor added as an option under Desktop’s Tools menu
 - Extract score function to parse whitespace separated numeric data in description line
 - Column labels in alignment annotation can be centred.
 - Tooltip for sequence associated annotation give name of sequence
 
Web Services and URL fetching
- JPred3 web service
 - Prototype sequence search client (no public services available yet)
 - Fetch either seed alignment or full alignment from PFAM
 - URL Links created for matching database cross references as well as sequence ID
 - URL Links can be created using regular-expressions
 
Sequence Database Connectivity
- Retrieval of cross-referenced sequences from other databases
 - Generalised database reference retrieval and validation to all fetchable databases
 - Fetch sequences from DAS sources supporting the sequence command
 
Import and Export
- export annotation rows as CSV for spreadsheet import
 - Jalview projects record alignment dataset associations, EMBL products, and cDNA sequence mappings
 - Sequence Group colour can be specified in Annotation File
 - Ad-hoc colouring of group in Annotation File using RGB triplet as name of colourscheme
 
VAMSAS Client capabilities (Experimental)
- treenode binding for VAMSAS tree exchange
 - local editing and update of sequences in VAMSAS alignments (experimental)
 - Create new or select existing session to join
 - load and save of vamsas documents
 
Application command line
- -tree parameter to open trees (introduced for passing from applet)
 - -fetchfrom command line argument to specify nicknames of DAS servers to query for alignment features
 - -dasserver command line argument to add new servers that are also automatically queried for features
 - -groovy command line argument executes a given groovy script after all input data has been loaded and parsed
 
Applet-Application data exchange
- Trees passed as applet parameters can be passed to application (when using “View in full application”)
 
Applet Parameters
- feature group display control parameter
 - debug parameter
 - showbutton parameter
 
Applet API methods
- newView public method
 - Window (current view) specific get/set public methods
 - Feature display control methods
 - get list of currently selected sequences
 
New Jalview distribution features
- InstallAnywhere Installer upgraded to IA 2008 VP1
 - RELEASE file gives build properties for the latest Jalview release.
 - Java 1.1 Applet build made easier and donotobfuscate property controls execution of obfuscator
 - Build target for generating source distribution
 - Debug flag for javacc
 - .jalview_properties file is documented (slightly) in jalview.bin.Cache
 - Continuous Build Integration for stable and development version of Application, Applet and source distribution
 
Issues Resolved
- selected region output includes visible annotations (for certain formats)
 - edit label/displaychar contains existing label/char for editing
 - update PDBEntries when DBRefEntries change (vamsas)
 - shorter peptide product names from EMBL records
 - Newick string generator makes compact representations
 - bootstrap values parsed correctly for tree files with comments
 - pathological filechooser bug avoided by not allowing filenames containing a ‘:’
 - Fixed exception when parsing GFF files containing global sequence features
 - Alignment datasets are finalized only when number of references from alignment sequences goes to zero
 - Close of tree branch colour box without colour selection causes cascading exceptions
 - occasional negative imgwidth exceptions
 - better reporting of non-fatal warnings to user when file parsing fails.
 - Save works when Jalview project is default format
 - Save as dialog opened if current alignment format is not a valid output format
 - UniProt canonical names introduced for both das and vamsas
 - Histidine should be midblue (not pink!) in Zappo
 - error messages passed up and output when data read fails
 - edit undo recovers previous dataset sequence when sequence is edited
 - allow PDB files without pdb ID HEADER lines (like those generated by MODELLER) to be read in properly
 - allow reading of JPred concise files as a normal filetype
 - Stockholm annotation parsing and alignment properties import fixed for PFAM records
 - Structure view windows have correct name in Desktop window list
 - annotation consisting of sequence associated scores can be read and written correctly to annotation file
 - Aligned cDNA translation to aligned peptide works correctly
 - Fixed display of hidden sequence markers and non-italic font for representatives in Applet
 - Applet Menus are always embedded in applet window on Macs.
 - Newly shown features appear at top of stack (in Applet)
 - Annotations added via parameter not drawn properly due to null pointer exceptions
 - Secondary structure lines are drawn starting from first column of alignment
 - UniProt XML import updated for new schema release in July 2008
 - Sequence feature to sequence ID match for Features file is case-insensitive
 - Sequence features read from Features file appended to all sequences with matching IDs
 - PDB structure coloured correctly for associated views containing a sub-sequence
 - PDB files can be retrieved by applet from Jar files
 - feature and annotation file applet parameters referring to different directories are retrieved correctly
 - Fixed application hang whilst waiting for splash-screen version check to complete
 - Applet properly URLencodes input parameter values when passing them to the launchApp service
 - display name and local features preserved in results retrieved from web service
 - Visual delay indication for sequence retrieval and sequence fetcher initialisation
 - updated Application to use DAS 1.53e version of dasobert DAS client
 - Re-instated Full AMSA support and .amsa file association
 - Fixed parsing of JNet Concise annotation sans sequences
