A new PyMOL version has been released. There is only one major feature
addition, but it makes a huge difference in the user experience. It is:
SESSION SAVES!
You can now save and restore PyMOL's state instead of having to write
laborious scripts. Hopefully this will make PyMOL more accessible to
non-programmers.
PyMOL session files have a ".pse" extension. You can save or load them
using the command line or the File menu.
Other changes include:
- Command history in external gui (use up/down arrows).
- Shadows can be disabled ("set ray_shadows,0").
- A scroll bar appears for long lists of object names.
- You can now adjust the width of the internal gui using the mouse.
- Reorganized menus.
- Amber trajectory file support (requires matched .top and .trj files
-- read "help load_traj")
- A few textures for the raytracer.
- Better support for Python blocks in PyMOL command scripts.
- "center" command
...and a variety of other minor tweaks.
Please let me know ASAP if there are any problems with the file releases.
