## Artemis Release 3 Changes

### Changes in Release 3 (March 2000)

- Extra menu items:
  - "Deactivate All Entries"
  - "Mark Empty ORFs ..."
  - "Show Forward Strand Overview"
  - "Show Reverse Strand Overview"
- The method for calling external programs on UNIX has changed slightly. Anyone with customized copies of run_fasta, run_blastp or the other scripts will need to remove line 8 (the one that mentions "DIANA_ENVIRONMENT_FILE").
- "Add Bases At Selection" and "Delete Selected Bases" have returned and now work well.

### Changes in Release 2 (November 1999)

- Artemis can now read and write Genbank and GFF files.
- Extra menu items:
  - "Save Entry As/EMBL Format"
  - "Save Entry As/Genbank Format"
  - "Remove An Entry"
  - "Select Features in Range"
  - "Show CDS Genes And Products"
  - "View Feature Bases As FASTA"
  - "View Feature Amino Acids As FASTA"
  - "Edit Header Of Default Entry"
  - "Delete Selected Exons"
  - "Trim Selected Features To Next Met"
  - "Trim Selected Features To Next Any"
  - "Show Entry Buttons"
  - "Add Usage Plots ..."
  - "GC Content (%) With 2.5 SD Cutoff"
- Extra sub-menus:
  - "Feature Filters"
- "Save An Entry As EMBL ..." has changed to "Save Entry As/EMBL Submission Format"
- "Goto ..." has changed to "Navigator ..."
- The arguments to the external search scripts (run_blast, run_fasta, etc.) have changed: the -f argument is no longer necessary
- run_blast has been copied to run_blastp, to be more consistent with the other scripts (run_blast still exists)
- "Add Bases At Selection" and "Delete Selected Bases" in the Edit menu have been disabled, since they are currently unreliable. This will be fixed in the next release
