CLC Genomics Workbench 26.0.6

What's new in 26.0.6

Improvements
- Automatic opening of a browser when following a web link from the Workbench, including when using QDI online licensing, is supported for more Linux desktops.
- Various minor improvements
Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue causing EMBL formatted nucleotide sequences containing two or more different symbols apart from AGCTN to be imported as peptide sequences in earlier versions in the 26 release line.
- Fixed an issue affecting the ability to mark sequences in alignments or sequence lists in earlier versions in the 26 release line. In affected versions, marking was treated as synonymous with the selection of all the residues in a sequence. This affected the actions that could be taken on marked sequences, and had the effect that, after checking selection boxes to mark sequences, a click elsewhere in the graphical view or in a linked table view, would clear the marked status of all other sequences, and would mark the sequence clicked on. In addressing this issue, a number of changes have been introduced. These are listed in the Changes section of the release notes.
- The flashing effect observed when the mouse cursor was moved across selected regions of sequences has been removed. This affected earlier versions in the 26 release line, and could be observed in elements such as alignments and sequence lists.
- Fixed an issue affecting alignments in earlier releases in the 26 release line, where a region of an individual sequence could be deleted from the view opened using the right-click option in the Table view, "Open This Sequence".
- Various minor bugfixes
- Vulnerabilities fixed in this release include:
- CVE-2026-49844
- CVE-2026-59903
Changes
- The bundled Java version is Java 21.0.12.1, where we use the JRE from the Azul OpenJDK builds.
- When working in the graphical view of an alignment or sequence list:
- Marking sequences can be done by clicking once on a sequence name, and unmarked by clicking again on the sequence name. This correspondingly selects the selection boxes that can be displayed by checking the "Show selection boxes" option in the Side Panel.
- The names of marked sequences are highlighted.
- The "Delete Marked Sequences" option, removed in earlier versions in the 26 release line, has been re-introduced in the context menu opened with a right-click on a sequence label or sequence content. …
