Recent releases


Changes: Support for Windows Vista was improved. Import of Swiss-Prot files was improved. The user can now select DNA or protein sequence for Fasta import.


Changes: Improved import of GCG files. Improved import of BLAST alias files. Workbench starts correctly on AMD-64 Linux distributions. An error when upgrading preference settings has been fixed. A focus problem preventing interaction with Side panel has been fixed.


Changes: An error in the bug submission dialog when it was invoked by a workbench crash was fixed. An error in the preference panel when using an empty BLAST URL was fixed.


Changes: Greatly improved data import: manual work is reduced significantly when importing large amounts of data, e.g when shifting from old software to CLC software. Much better handling of very large sequences: much less memory use makes the application smoother to work with. Significantly better data handling makes actions like deletion of files and working with many files at a time much faster. Pre-defined style sheets for the preference panel. Greatly improved export of graphics. Greatly improved printing.


Changes: Improvements in this release included free choice of bootstrap replicates when inferring phylogenetic trees and an option for canceling graphics export processes. When sequences are opened, they are now zoomed to nucleotide level by default. A number of bugfixes were made.
