The Open Babel project is extremely proud to announce the release of Open Babel 2.1.0, the latest stable version of the open source chemistry toolbox.
This release represents a major update and should be a stable upgrade, strongly recommended for all users of Open Babel. Highlights include a new framework for molecular mechanics force fields, a framework for canonical, unique atom numbering (i.e., an open source canonical SMILES implementation), new scripting interfaces in Ruby and Java, enhancements to the developer API, several highly-requested file formats, and many, many bug fixes and improvements.
