Nico has just released Jmol 11.6.RC6. This release needs serious 
testings in the next few days. Please check this in any way you can and 
get back to us.

Refreshing
----------

Some core functionality was tweaked. Specifically, I reduced the number 
of times Jmol does refreshes. My first attempt at this (Jmol 11.5.RC5) 
was not successful, but I'm hoping 11.5.RC6 is better. These changes 
should significantly reduce the number of times Jmol tries to refresh, 
leading to smoother scripting. But it's also possible that I have 
removed a few too many of these. So the thing to look out for is odd 
refreshing behavior.


Synchronization
---------------

Eric Martz, I'm hoping you can check out synchronization issues, since 
you seem to be working on that. The changes I made should not affect 
synchronization, but they may.


Documentation
-------------

Up to date? Working ok? Does the applet console Help menu item work? (I 
know there's a problem with the top item. Anybody care to fix that? What 
I'd like there is a "Search" item.)


Point Groups
------------

Are we done?


Images
------

This is really incredible. Put an image anywhere using SET ECHO IMAGE, 
in 2D or 3D. Scale it anyway you want. Note that "set fontScaling" works 
the same as for 3D echo text as for echo images. Scaling can be 
accomplished right now using a not-so-obvious scaling factor in the FONT 
ECHO command. I would really appreciate someone doing some testing of 
this. Suggestions?

Do we still need alpha translucency? -- That is, so that the applet can 
appear in a layer in front of an image? If so, please let me know how to 
do that. I think it's an easy addition.


General
-------

So just a simple "yes, this works on my site" would be helpful.
