Dear all,

I'm pleased to announce that the next version of the RDKit -- 2015.09
(a.k.a. Q3 2015) -- is released. The new RDKit release theme is: Better
late than never. :-)

Note that this is a patch release (the version number ends in _2). We
discovered a couple of problems in the original release before I actually
announced it and decided we should fix those before announcing the release.

The release notes are below.

The release and binary files are on the github release page:
https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/releases/tag/Release_2015_09_2
Unless there's serious demand for it, I do not plan to duplicate these on
the sourceforge download page.

I will be uploading 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries for Python 2.7 and,
in response to a couple of requests, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries for
Java.

Gianluca's binary RPMs for Fedora 20, 21 and RHEL/Centos 6, 7 will be
available from
this repository:
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/giallu/rdkit/

Conda builds will start to appear in the RDKit channel at anaconda.org (
https://anaconda.org/rdkit) over the next few days.

We have updated the homebrew recipe and will update the conda build script
to reflect the new version.

The online version of the documentation at rdkit.org has been updated.

Thanks to the everyone who submitted bug reports and suggestions for this
release!

Please let me know if you find any problems with the release or have
suggestions for the next one, which is scheduled for March 2016.

Best Regards,
-greg
