Dear all, I just tagged the Q1 2009 release of the RDKit in svn: https://rdkit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rdkit/tags/Release_Q12009_1beta3
There's a source tarball on the google code page: http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/downloads/detail?name=RDKit_Q12009_1beta3.tgz If no big problems show up, I will plan on doing the next release around one week from today. Excerpts from the release notes are below (I will continue to fill these out as I have time). Enjoy, -greg ****** Release_Q12009_1 ******* (Changes relative to Release_Q42008_1) !!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!! - The directory structure of the distribution has been changed in order to make installation of the RDKit python modules more straightforward. Specifically the directory $RDBASE/Python has been renamed to $RDBASE/rdkit and the Python code now expects that $RDBASE is in your PYTHONPATH. When importing RDKit Python modules, one should now do: "from rdkit import Chem" instead of "import Chem". Old code will continue to work if you also add $RDBASE/rdkit to your PYTHONPATH, but it is strongly suggested that you update your scripts to reflect the new organization. - For C++ programmers: There is a non-backwards compatible change in the way atoms and bonds are stored on molecules. See the *Other* section for details. Acknowledgements - Kirk DeLisle, Noel O'Boyle, Andrew Dalke Bug Fixes - Incorrect handling of 0s as ring closure digits (issues 2525792, and 2690982) - Incorrect handling of atoms with explicit Hs in reactions (issue 2540021) - SmilesMolSupplier.GetItemText() crashes (issue 2632960) - Incorrect handling of dot separations in reaction SMARTS (issue 2690530) - Bad charge lines in mol blocks for large molecules (issue 2692246) - Order dependence in the 2D pharmacophore code - the LayeredFingerprints now handle non-aromatic single ring bonds between aromatic atoms correctly. New Features - BRICS implementation - Morgan/circular fingerprints implementation - The 2D pharmacophore code now uses standard RDKit fdef files. - Atom parity information in CTABs now written and read. If present on reading, atom parity flags are stored in the atomic property "molParity". - An optional "fromAtoms" argument has been added to the atom pairs and topological torsion fingerprints. If this is provided, only atom pairs including the specified atoms, or torsions that either start or end at the specified atoms, will be included in the fingerprint. - Kekulization is now optional when generating CTABs. Since the MDL spec suggests that aromatic bonds not be used, this is primarily intended for debugging purposes. - the removeStereochemistry() (RemoveStereoChemistry() from Python) function has been added to remove all stereochemical information from a molecule. Other - The function DaylightFingerprintMol() is now deprecated, use RDKFingerprintMol() instead. - For C++ programmers: The ROMol methods getAtomPMap() and getBondPMap() have been removed. The molecules themselves now support an operator[]() method that can be used to convert graph iterators (e.g. ROMol:edge_iterator, ROMol::vertex_iterator, ROMol::adjacency_iterator) to the corresponding Atoms and Bonds. New API for looping over an atom's bonds: ... molPtr is a const ROMol * ... ... atomPtr is a const Atom * ... ROMol::OEDGE_ITER beg,end; boost::tie(beg,end) = molPtr->getAtomBonds(atomPtr); while(beg!=end){ const BOND_SPTR bond=(*molPtr)[*beg]; ... do something with the Bond ... ++beg; } New API for looping over a molecule's atoms: ... mol is an ROMol ... ROMol::VERTEX_ITER atBegin,atEnd; boost::tie(atBegin,atEnd) = mol.getVertices(); while(atBegin!=atEnd){ ATOM_SPTR at2=mol[*atBegin]; ... do something with the Atom ... ++atBegin; }
