Version 1.2.0 of gpp4, a standalone, drop-in replacement for the CCP4 library has been released. The library was branched in 2007, but is tracking updates and bugfixes from CCP4, as well as updates and fixes from other sources.
The current version is thus on par with the CCP4 library version 6.1.2. The most important new feature is that gpp4 now supports the CCP4 library's FORTRAN API. This means that the programs REFMAC (version 5.6.0031) and MOSFLM (version 7.0.6), both of which are distributed by their authors on an individual release-schedule, can be built with gpp4, without the need for downloading and installing the entire CCP4 suite (~230 Mb). The size of the gpp4 tarball is 686 Kb. The gpp4 library is available via the software repository mechanisms of some Linux distributions (Ubuntu and Fedora) and for OSX via Fink. The gpp4 library's FORTRAN API requires installation of Eugene Krissinel's mmdb library. On the aforementioned distributions this is installed automatically as a dependency. The library is distributed under the LGPL license.
