January 15th 2000 Marvin 2.2. New:
- In addition to the applets, a new application and JavaBeans were born:
- MarvinSketch: the structure drawing program
- Marvin Beans: components for software
development
- Keyboard!
If you missed it so far, now you will find much more
than you have ever expected. Marvin's keyboard shortcuts are
very intuitive and easy to recall.
- Shortcuts for all the elements.
Accessing Caesium (C-S) have never been so
easy!
- Shortcuts for 8 bond types, templates, erase mode,
undo, redo, etc.
- Pop-up menus in both the AWT and the Swing version of
MarvinSketch.
- Recent structures.
MarvinSketch remembers the last 20 structures used, including
templates, atoms, copy/pasted parts.
The recently used 5 molecule parts are just a right click away!
This new unique feature of Marvin speeds up the
creation of many similar molecules.
- New query bond types: "single or double",
"single or aromatic", "double or aromatic".
- Bond topology (chain and ring query bonds in molfiles).
- "Heteroatom" type for query structures.
- Wait cursor at module loading.
Fixed: missing "any atom"; charge problem with atom alias;
MSWindows end of line problem in the Molecule File window; invisible atoms
with Sun's JVM for MSWindows; molfile lines exceeding column 80 for
structure with 9 or more charged atoms; etc.
From now on, Marvin Installer installs the Marvin Java
classes only in packaged forms: marvin.jar and marvin.zip.
See the reasons and the consequences on the
Changes page.
