Fixes

• Improved detection of Gateway sites in sequences containing stretches of N's.
  (Reported by Ben Bulrich)
• Improved exporting names of features with "<" and ">" characters to GenBank formats.
  (Reported by Wulf-Dirk Leuschner)
• Fixed a stability issue with editing collection code numbers.
• Improved decoding of custom numbering in Gene Construction Kit files.

  (Reported by Sahand Rahi)
• Improved the behavior when exporting aligned sequences from Align to Reference Sequence mode.
  (Reported by Lauri Lintott)
• Made the reference sequence bold when printing an alignment to a reference sequence.
• Improved Enzymes view so that selecting an enzyme in the name column no longer changes the sequence selection.
• Improved stability when printing maps with long stretches of N's on macOS.
  (Reported by Ben Low)
• Enbled import of primers from Clone Manager files that contain vertical tab characters.
  (Reported by André Michaelis)
• Improved consistency when importing protein sequences from NCBI.
• Fixed a number of issues with choosing and preserving templates while using cloning, gel, primer, and mutagenesis dialogs.
  (Reported by Yan Lu)
• Improve scrolling to selected files in collection windows.
• Updated the Addgene importer to recognize the new database output.
• Improved multiple sequence alignment consensus accuracy.
• Improved the import of primer lists copied from Excel.
  (Reported by Greg Shackleford)
• Ensured that the selection in Sequence view's minimap is always blue when the window is active.
• Fixed various issues when saving documents to non-native file formats (GenBank, FASTA, etc.).
