[Cdk-devel] New CDK Release

[Egon W. <eg...@sc...>]

Hi all,

i've just made a new CDK release (20030412), because the Changelog was getting
overloaded. Some of the highlights of this release are:

  Much more robust IO for MDL molfile, SMILES and CML. The
  Renderer/Controller2D now has atom and bond moving, and popup menu's. The  
  layout of ChemObjectTree was much improved. The saturation checker got an  
  overhaul, and chemical data can now be validated. Also, over 10 bugs have 
  been fixed.

(as taken from the proposed Freshmeat.net announcement)

See the full CHANGELOG in the distribution (or on CVS) for a full list of 
changes.


Unlike I had hoped, this release does not yet feature a stable CDK core, let 
alone other stable modules. Stableness requires correct and full JavaDoc, and
JUnit tests for all methods in the classes in the module. For CDK core this is
getting close, but not yet completed.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to CVS in the last two 
months. Moreover, I would like to thank Peter Murray-Rust, for organizing an 
informal CDK developers meeting in Cambridge, UK in March. I would also like
to thank Juergen Harter (from Peter's group) who is developing tools to 
validate file IO. This has improved the MDL molfile, CML and reader and 
writer considerably, both in terms of robustness as in functionality. This 
also is true for the SMILES parser.

As always the distribution can be downloaded from:

kind regards,

Egon
