Release Date: March 9, 2017

• chromadepth improvements:
  • ray-tracing support
  • chromadepth=2: post-lighting and luminance scaled
  • correct linear depth in non-orthoscopic projection
• surface_smooth_edges: Smooth edges on partial surfaces

• Protein-Protein interface preset (A > preset > protein interface)

• fast MMTF load support
• unrecognized extension raises error instead of handling as PDB
• added: vdb (VIPERdb), cor (CHARMM), …

• CTRL-L ligand zoom (main windows needs to have focus)
• fetch command
  • new fetch_type_default setting
  • fetch …, type=mmtf
  • three letter codes → type=cc (e.g. fetch ALA)
• avoid selection keyword name conflicts: Append underscore to conflicting names
• added width and height arguments to mpng and movie.produce

• Setting > Transparency > Angle-dependent
• Setting > Surface > Smooth Edges
• Setting > Surface > Edge Proximity

• new fetch_type_default setting
• new default: ray_transparency_oblique_power=4.0
• new editor_auto_measure setting: transient measurements in editing mode when more than one atom is picked

• “update” command: support “current state” (-1)
• alter elem → update protons and vdw
• “pluggable” dictionaries of load and save functions (subject to change)

• fix selection indicators rendering problem (affects some Intel HD Graphics chips)
• connect_mode=4: N-H1 and N-H3 bonds

• MAE export column aligned PDB names
• MAE multi-entry import: make duplicated object names unique
• MAE import: accept backslash outside quoted strings
• restore “import cmd” prevention
• restore scene_animation setting
• MacPyMOL syspython: hard code PYTHONHOME=/usr to not get mixed up with any non-system Python (e.g. from Anaconda, MacPorts, etc.)
• Mac X11-only: allow symlinks to launcher
• Linux: support spaces in launcher path
• Linux setup.sh: check libz compatibility
