Open Babel 2.0.1 Released

The Open Babel project is extremely proud to announce the release of Open Babel 2.0.1, the latest stable version of the free chemistry file translation program and chemistry software library.

This release represents a bug-fix release and should be a stable upgrade, strongly recommended for all users of Open Babel.

Highlights include improved memory usage, fixes for compilation problems on AIX, Solaris, Fedora Core, and with the new GCC-4.1 compiler. Several crashes were fixed, and significantly improved scripting wrappers for Perl and Python are available. Support for Cygwin and countless bug fixes are also included.

Cheers,
-Geoff
