Dear all,

I have tagged a beta of the next RDKit release here:
https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/releases/tag/2014_09_1beta1

The relevant section of the release notes is below.

I will try to get windows binaries up in the next few days.

Unless major problems are found, I plan to do the actual release in about
two weeks.

Best,
-greg

******  Release_2015.03.1 *******
(Changes relative to Release_2014.09.2)

!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!

 - This release has a new algorithm for canonical atom ordering. This
   means that canonical SMILES generated with the new version will be
   different from those generated with previous versions.

Highlights:

  - A new algorithm for generating canonical atom orders. The new
    algorithm is faster and more robust than the old one.
  - C++-based molecule drawing code, allows consistent molecule
    renderings from C++, Java, and Python. This will become the
    default renderer in the next release.
  - General performance improvements and reduction of memory usage.
  - Torsion Fingerprints for comparing 3D conformations to each other
  - MCS code now available from the PostgreSQL cartridge

Deprecated code (to be removed in next release):

  - C++: The functionality in $RDBASE/Code/GraphMol/MolDrawing has been
    superseded by the new drawing code in $RDBASE/Code/GraphMol and will
    be removed in the next release.
  - Python:
     - rdkit/Dbase/Pubmed
     - rdkit/Chem/fmcs (this has been superseded by the C++ implementation)
  - Cartridge: support for v8.x of PostgreSQL (v8.4 is no longer
    supported by the PostgreSQL project team as of July 2014)

Removed code:

  - the method Atom::setMass() has been removed. Please use setIsotope()
    instead.
  - the methods involving an atom's dativeFlag have been removed.

Contrib updates:

Other:
  - Python 2.6 support is deprecated. Starting with the next RDKit
release, we will only support python 2.7 and python 3.4 and
higher. Python 2.6 has not been supported since October 2013. If you
believe that you are stuck with python 2.6 because of the version of
RHEL you are running, please read this post to learn about your
options:
http://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2015/04/stop-supporting-python26.html
  - The RDKit molecule objects (ROMol and RWMol) now require about 15%
less memory to store
