The Jmol API has been relatively stable since the 10.00 release. I am still not very happy with the API because I have not had time to clean it up. So it will probably change again in the future. > I noticed that a lot of work had been done for the applet functionality. > Did performance, rendering and functionality change significantly > since the early version 10 ? I do not know which early prerelease version you are using. Rendering performance did not increase. New features have been added. > What about multiple protein models in the same view (remember that strap > can superimpose proteins) ? Jmol still cannot load more than one file at a time. If you put two or more proteins as multiple models in the same file then Jmol can display them individually or concurrently. > The goal is the following: > A default jmol can be downloaded from the STRAP server. > However, the user could also take another (more recent or customized) jmol > dot jar. > The Jmol is then loaded into STRAP with a customized class loader. > However, this requires that the API remains relatively stable over time. There are not many users who are working directly with the Jmol API.

Rather, you want to explicitly choose English as your language. I am sure that someone will find a way to solve this problem. I advise you not to worry about this issue.

I went ahead and made this change. Note that the lists of Jmol web sites is now stored in wiki.jmol.org, so you are able to make changes and enhancements to the description of STRAP by yourself.
