Release Notice
This release represents a major update and should be a stable upgrade, strongly recommended for all users of Open Babel. Highlights include a completely rewritten stereochemistry engine, 2D depiction, improved 3D coordinate generation, ..... Many formats are improved or added, including CIF, .... , and more. Improved developer API and scripting support and many, many bug fixes are also included.
What's New from 2.2.3
- Completely rewritten stereochemistry perception, including support for tetrahedral, square planar, and higher-order stereochemistry.
- Dramatically improved canonicalization algorithm (typically assigning different canonical SMILES).
- 2D depiction, including SVG vector graphics generation.
- New ChargeMethod API including support for partial charge assignment from Gasteiger, MMFF94, Qeq, QTPIE methods and plugin interface for adding more.
- Improved 3D coordinate generation.
- New conformer generation framework.
- Improved user documentation.
- Improved aromaticity / Kekule bond assignment.
- Improved unit test suite using the CMake-based CTest program.
- Improved support for crystallographic unit cells (e.g., in CIF format).
- Improved UFF force field method, including hypervalent 5, 6, 7 and higher coordination numbers.
- Support for the GAFF (Generalized Amber Force Field) method.
- Support for reading geometry optimizations as multiple conformers from Gaussian, GAMESS-US, and other quantum chemistry packages.
- Support for reading molecular orbital energies from quantum chemistry formats.
- Several memory leaks fixed.
- Fixed many compiler warnings.
- Fixed support for MinGW and Cygwin environments.
- Fixed bugs with Gaussian 09 output files.
- Latest released version of the InChI library (1.0.3) generating standard InChI.
- Many more bug fixes and small feature improvements.
Added Command-Line Operations
- --unique: Only output unique molecules (as determined by InChI generation)
