    (Requested by Gavin Johnson)

Fixes

  • Corrected a regression that prevented decoding of features in Gene Construction Kit files.
    (Reported by Matthew Mulvey and others)
  • Corrected a regression that prevented the bacterial transformation strain from being applied to the cloning product.
    (Reported by Kengo Adachi)
  • Fixed an issue with applying the "Limit file history" preference.
    (Reported by Michael Taschner)
  • Improved detection of Gateway attR1, attR2 and attR4 sites.
    (Inspired by Mily Ron)
  • Improved the default binding site shown when invoking the Edit Primer dialog for a primer with multiple binding sites.
    (Reported by Karim Hyder)
  • Corrected an issue with simulating Gateway cloning using att sites that lie across the numerical origin.
    (Reported by Dominic Esposito)
  • Removed an outdated comment regarding PmlI losing activity when stored at -20°C.
    (Reported by Wael Tadros)
  • Corrected the Import Primers dialog to proceed when Enter/Return is pressed.
    (Reported by Stuart Cahalan)
  • Fixed an issue that could result in peak data disappearing when editing Sanger sequence traces.
    (Reported by Dale Cowley)
  • Corrected a regression that prevented Shift-selecting a range of primers in Primers view.
    (Reported by Dan Kraut)
  • Removed the "Fixed Line Width" button from the side toolbar in the Anneal Oligos dialog.
  • Corrected various stability issues when using cloning dialogs.
  • Ensured that the Sequence view minimap is consistently shown.
  • Fixed an issue with migrating the chosen enzymes when cloning while using a custom local enzyme set.
  • Corrected a regression that could cause the Browse Common Features dialog to switch from Sequence to Map view when the displayed feature was changed.
  • Improved the tooltips for history operations.
  • Ensured that changing the sequence methylation reliably updates the methylation state in the Description Panel.
  • Improved the document icon for DNA alignments to include a shadow.
  • Corrected an issue with splitting the view after having previously done so.
  • Corrected an issue with using Shift and the Left/Right arrow keys to move selected ranges across an entire gap in an alignment.
