Kemistry / News: Recent posts

Kemistry 0.7 has been released today. The main goal of this release is to provide a release compilable with GCC 3.2 which is becoming the standard compiler in many linux distros.

A new version of Kemistry has been released.
With this release 2 new applications are included:
* KDrawChem 0.1 - a molecular structure drawing program based on XDrawChem (written by Brian Herger)
* KemBabel 0.1 - a graphical version of Open Babel, a file conversion program
As usual Kemistry is distributed in several formats:
* a source .tar.bz2 package
* a source RPM package for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (should work with other distribution with some modification, contact me if you need help)
* a binary RPM package for Mandrake Linux 8.2 on a x86

Kemistry v0.5 has been released. This is hopefully the latest release with only one application (i.e KMolCalc).
The package has been completely rewritten. No more devel or libraries packages will be distribuited.

KMolCalc is now fully internazionalized. The elements and groups name are now translated (if a translation is available)

A new version of Kemistry Libraries and KMolCalc has been released. The kemistry package is now splitted in 2 packages: Kemistry Libraries and KMolCalc. Those packages will be installed on /opt/kde3 (the standard path for KDE 3.0 on Mandrake systems)

KDE 3.0 has been released. Go to the KDE home page (htttp://www.kde.org) to download it.
Version 4.0 of the Kemistry Libraries and version 4.0 of KMolCalc will be released soon. The Kemistry Libraries and KMolCalc will be distributed in two distint packages.

I've just uploaded Kemistry 0.3 binaries and sources.
The libraries framework is finished. I've added a new feature to kmolcalc, the molecular mass calculator. kmolcalc can now compute molecular masses and elemental composition from files.
Five packages are provided:
source tar.bz2
source RPM
binary RPM for linux (tested on mandrake 8.0)
binary devel RPM (contains header files)
binary italian RPM (i18n files for italian language)

The KDE Team has just released KDE 2.2.1. See the KDE homepage (http://www.kde.org) for further informations.

Kemistry 0.3 will be released in about 5 days. The libraries are almost finished but again only one application will be released: KMolCalc, the molecular mass calculator.

KDE 2.1 has been released. Go to KDE project homepage (http://www.kde.org) to download it.
Future releases of Kemistry will require KDE 2.1!

A mailing list for Kemistry users is available. To subscribe follow the links in the Kemistry project page.

Kemistry 0.2 is just released.
This is essentially a bugfix release. A couple of bugs in the editor and a very stupid bug in the parser are fixed. New atomic mass data are used.
Libkemistry is almost finished (but needs an extensive testing).
This is probably the latest version with only one application, KMolCalc (Molecular Mass Calculator)
As usual 5 packages are provided:
- source .tar.bz2
- source RPM
- binary RPM
- binary RPM (italian translations and documentation)
- binary RPM (development files)
