[Probemaker-users] New version

[Johan S. <joh...@ge...>]

Dear users!

A new version (1.4) of ProbeMaker is now available for download from
sourceforge.net

This version contains a number of fixes and enhancements, including:

* New project save file format

The new xml-based project save file (*.prx) format will hopefully add
flexibility for future changes and also be easier to understand and edit for
advanced users. 

It should now be possible to save and reload projects with imported probes.

Files in the old format can still be imported via the file menu. Please
submit a support request if there are problems with this. 

* DINAMelt analysis module 

Due to a server-side change. The Mfold secstruct module has stopped working
correctly some time ago. This module is now removed, and replaced by the
DINAMelt module. This module sends a query to the DINAMelt web server (see
ref. in plugin description). It is now also possible to set service
parameters.

* Default plugin-choice for command-line use 

The config/probemaker.properties file can be used to set the default choice
of plugins (acceptor/selector/tag allocator/TSS Constructor) to use when
executing ProbeMaker from the command-line.

* Removing probes 

By right-clicking a probe in the probe-table, it is now possible to remove
probes from the project, with the option of removing targets as well.
