Dear Jmolers,

A failure has been detected to display Jmol when using the Chrome browser under 
MacOS.
The reason has been tracked down to a change of behavior in Chrome (and future 
versions 
of Safari or other WebKit-based browsers) together with an old browser 
detection routine in 
the Jmol.js library.

A new revision of Jmol.js has been made to avoid this problem, and will be 
included in the 
next releases of Jmol, probably 12.0.30 and 12.1.33
Please stay alert for:
1. your existing pages stop working under Mac/Chrome
2. any unexpected misbehavior in your pages when you upgrade Jmol

(If you need to fix #1 but don't want to upgrade Jmol now, be welcome to 
contact me through 
the jmol-developers list so we can forge a cure into your copy of Jmol.js)

I'm rather confident that nothing will be broken by applying the new version of 
Jmol.js to 
existing pages, but one never knows. Particularly for singular combinnations of 
browsers and 
OSs which I am unable to test.

The browser-checking page at the Jmol website will also be updated accordingly 
and should 
now provide a more specific report of browser detection and what Jmol.js will 
do for inserting 
JmolApplets for that browser.
If you see problems in your pages, please visit
http://jmol.sourceforge.net/browsercheck/
and report a copy of that page so the problem can be recognized and fixed.
(The website might take some longer time to be updated, particularly so since 
the 
SourceForge servers are experiencing problems these last days)
