Thanks,

 Jmol version 10 pre-release 8 was released on 28 Mar 2004. This release
includes the following enhancements:

    * initial support for CIF/mmCIF files
    * better support for ShelX .res files
    * initial support for atom hover with the addition
      of the 'hover {labelFormat}' command
    * support for --script and -s as a script parameter to
      the Jmol application
    * lightened default 'carbon' color
    * corrected bugs in atom expressions with numeric group IDs
    * corrected bugs in label and font control
    * adjusted mouse gestures

This release continues to have the following functional limitations:

    * Supports .xyz, .mol, .pdb, .res and .cif files
    * Does not handle vibrations
    * Does not have full crystal cell support

No work is planned in the following areas until at least July 2004

    * nucleotide graphic shapes
    * ribbons support
    * automatic recognition of protein secondary structures
      using DSSP or related algorithms
    * isosurfaces
    * full animation support


Additional notes regarding support for .cif files

    * Both cartesian and fractional coordinates are supported.
    * Protein secondary structures of helix, turn, and sheet are supported.
    * No bonding information is read from CIF/mmCIF files ...
      bonds are generated through autobonding. (It would be a big
      help to me if someone could explain to me how bonds are defined
      in CIF/mmCIF files.)
    * Supporting mmCIF files required some fundamental changes to the
      underlying data structures for atom expression queries. This had
      an impact on PDB files. Therefore, some bugs were probably
      introduced. Please be aware of this and report any incorrect
      behavior with atom expressions when working with either
      mmCIF or PDB files.
