New in BKChem 0.14.0 Pre 1 (Jan 22, 2010)

  • bugfixes - an error in Molfile export with newer Python versions was fixed
  • export via cairo stroked even invisible paths - for example wedge bonds were
  • slightly thicker
  • not all types of marks were allowed on atoms marked as "query atoms"
  • removal of charge marks from atoms now updates its charge
  • two successive cairo exports with different magnifications led to
  • wrong font sizes
  • when font-size was set using context menu on both texts and atoms, only text
  • was actually updated, not atoms
  • when a "focus circle" around atom is not properly removed, it will no longer
  • become stuck after mode switch
  • cairo PostScript export created fallback bitmaps instead of proper curves
  • most of the time because of translucency issues
  • BKChem should no longer crash when installed into a directory with non-ASCII
  • characters in its name
  • plugins should not have problems finding additional modules residing in the plugin
  • directory - this allows for multifile plugins
  • import of OASA fixed in case when it is installed separately rather than as part
  • of the BKChem tree
  • enhancements - logging dialog - it is now possible to set logging preference for different
  • levels of message importance
  • round brackets - *work in progress*
  • one axis dragging - it is now possible to move an object only in one
  • direction by holding either Shift or Ctrl when dragging
  • it is now possible to set the system default language in the Language menu
  • HTML entities are interpreted in text - you can now use α
  • when entering text
  • an *experimental* support for the CDXML (Chem Draw XML) format was added
  • (contributed by Simona Pourová)
  • a new and much nicer icon-set was contributed by Yassine Mrabet (many thanks)
  • changes - cairo exports now export text as text instead of converting it to curves
  • (where available)
  • internal changes were made in the CDML format for storing of rich-text. Files
  • from this version might not be properly readable in older versions of BKChem.
  • Backward compatibility is preserved.
  • alignment of multiline text has changed
  • translations - lv translation added (thanks to Reinis Danne)
