[Rdkit-devel] changes to dummy atom handing

[Greg L. <gre...@gm...>]

Dear All,

Another quick note about a small change that may have large repercussions:

I just checked in (rev594) the next step in the change in dummy atom
handling that was started in the last release.

Here's an explanation from the release notes:
 - Support for supplying dummy atoms as "[Du]", "[X]", "[Xa]", etc. is
   now considered deprecated. In this release a warning will be
   generated for these forms and in the next release the old form will
   generate errors. Note that the output of dummy atoms has also
   changed: the default output format is now "*".  (feature request
   186217)

Best Regards,
