Dear all, I just tagged a release candidate for the Q4 2008 release in svn: http://rdkit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rdkit/tags/Release_Q42008_1RC1/ I also uploaded a source tarball to the google code project page: http://rdkit.googlecode.com/files/RDKit_Q42008_RC1.tgz
The release notes are at the end of this message. If no major problems turn up, I will do the actual release in one week: on the 13th of January. Please let me know if you find any problems or have any suggestions. -greg ****** Release_Q42008_1 ******* (Changes relative to Release_Q32008_1) !!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!! - A fix in the handling of stereochemistry in rings means that the SMILES generated with this release are different from those in previous releases. Note that the canonicalization algorithm does not work in cases of pure ring stereochemistry : the SMILES should be correct, but it is not canonical. Rings containing chiral centers should be fine.
