Dear all.

We are very pleased to announce that Jalview 2.8 is now available from 
our brand new website at www.jalview.org.

What's new ?
========

Jalview 2.8 includes a number of enhancements and new features that have 
been in development since July 2010. It is also the first Jalview 
release to incorporate RNA visualization features developed by Lauren 
Lui and Jan Engelhart during their Google Summer of Code 
(http://code.google.com/soc/) projects.

Highlights in Jalview Version 2.8

* JABAWS support (http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/jabaws/)
- improved client and support for new JABAWS 2.0 Services
   o AACon alignment conservation
   o Protein disorder - DisEMBL, RONN, GlobPlot and IUPred
   o Clustal Omega for creating huge protein alignments

* Support for RNA
   o Import sequence and alignment associated WUSS or VIENNA dot-bracket 
notation from files and the RFAM database
   o Interactive editing of RNA secondary structure annotation
   o Colour scheme for purine/pyrimidine and to highlight RNA helices
   o RNA canonical base pair consensus score and sequence logo
   o VARNA (http://varna.lri.fr/) RNA secondary structure viewer in the 
Jalview Desktop

Issues fixed in this release include compatibility of the desktop with 
OSX Mountain lion, Windows 8, numerous minor glitches and patches to the 
JalviewLite Javascript API. For the comprehensive list of new features 
and bug fixes, take a look at the Jalview 2.8 Release Notes

The New Look www.jalview.org site
======================

In the last year, we've been busy developing a logo and a new website 
for Jalview.

The new look website includes blogs for training, community and Jalview 
development news, and we'll be working to add more functionality over 
the coming months. If you have any comments or
suggestions, then we'd love to hear from you. You can find all the ways 
to get in contact with us over at http://www.jalview.org/community


Happy jalviewing!
 From all the Jalview Team
