We had planned on reinstating the PyMOL v0.99 builds after the
redesign of the pymol.org website.  For some time, we left these
builds off the site as we considered them very old, missing many
features, and difficult to support. However, given the needs of the
community, we've reinstated these builds as PyMOL-legacy.

PyMOL-legacy downloads are now available at PyMOL's SourceForge site
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/files/Legacy/). Currently,
these include all the 0.99 builds and source. Second, a new
PyMOL-legacy mailing list
(https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=pymol-legacy)
has been created for discussion; this still needs a few hours to
initialize, but will be ready soon.  Please note that this
PyMOL-legacy mailing list is a community list and Schrodinger offers
no support for these old builds.

To round out the issue, we are working on a reasonable "end-of-life"
policy to balance the needs of our users with ease of software
maintenance.  PyMOL's official end-of-life policy for builds will be
posted on our website (http://pymol.org/eol) soon.

Cheers,

-- Jason
