Jalview 2.8.0b1 release now available

Dear All.

We're pleased to announce that a new version of Jalview - version 2.8.0b1 is now available from www.jalview.org

This is a bug-fix release. It includes numerous minor improvements to version 2.8 that were made over the course of last year. Importantly, it is also the first release that is 'signed' by a digital certificate donated to us by Certum (certum.eu). This new signature will ensure that you will not be prevented or strongly discouraged from executing the Jalview Desktop or JalviewLite applet on the latest versions of Java.

Why has this release taken so long ? That's a great question. Make sure to check back on the website soon, since we'll shortly be announcing some exciting new developments!

Until the next time(*)...
Happy Jalviewing!

The Jalview Team.
