Announcing molsKetch Deuterium

After almost two months of development, molsKetch Deuterium is available for download. This is an in between release of molsKetch (hence the name) containing mostly bug fixes. Most of the work is visible under the hood in the source code. End-users will only notice the support for OpenBabel under Windows (you can now load, save and import documents) and few other changes like deleting items with the right mouse button and the new lay-out for the element table. For a more extensive list of changes, see the changelog.

Looking forward to the next release of molsKetch, Helium, a few changes will occur. The next release will be most likely depending on Qt 4.3 and OpenBabel 2.1. With the new releases of these great frameworks, molsKetch will have a tighter integration of OpenBabel and better support for SVG. Some features I've in mind for Helium are (3D) rotating of molecules, support for different drawing styles for molecules and a built-in SMILES prompt.

As always, I'm open for any suggestions and other feedback. Please report any bugs or other problems at the bug tracker on sourceforge.net page.
