Enhancements

• Improved performance of large collections on a network on Windows.
  (Reported by Guillaume Audic)
• Enhanced the sequence importer to handle text files with lines that end with numbers.
  (Requested by Mary Love Taylor)
• Improved the behavior and availability of the mismatch navigation controls in the Align to Reference DNA Sequence interface.
  (Requested by Kai Wu)
• Improved selection and scrolling performance in large collections.
• Improved the detection of common features within larger lacZα features.
• Configured collections produced by importing Vector NTI® databases to sort by "File Name" and "Date Created" by default.
• Mirrored visibility of the Description Panel when switching between DNA and protein files in a collection.
• Added a message dialog when the Assemble Contigs tool does not generate any contigs.
• Made various textual enhancements.

Fixes

• Ensured that primer names are not duplicated when importing primers from a list or another file.
  (Reported by Tom Folliard)
• Fixed the import of GFF3 features into circular plasmids.
  (Reported by Catherine Ludden)
• Fixed an issue in which no matches were found for an enzyme name if spaces were accidentally entered.
• Added file association registration for the .gcg, .apr, and .aprx file extensions.
• Ensured that in an imported Vector NTI® Express database, a Date Created entry is not erroneously stated as "Today."
• Corrected a regression with the display of ORFs in Map view.
• Corrected a regression that prevented directionality arrows from being present in features when Sequence view is in horizontal scrolling mode.
• Ensured that "Batch Trim File Histories" is enabled when only one level of history exists.
• Prevented a situation that could cause ancestral sequences to be duplicated in files.
• Corrected a regression that altered the display of features in aligned sequences after sequence edits.
• Ensured that ambiguous bases are represented as N's when performing multiple alignment of sequence trace files.
• Fixed an issue in which collection folders sometimes incorrectly expanded after addition of files or folders.
• Improved the summary of imported files when files are added to a collection using the Windows Explorer, the macOS Finder, or the command line.
