All releases of BALLView


Release Notes: Numerous enhancements and bugfixes.


Release Notes: An integrated molecule editor, the Merck Molecular Force Field (MMFF 94), and an automated download of structures from PDB and PubChem were added. The visualization was extended with volume rendering and field lines for electrostatics, improved cartoon and ribbon models, non-photorealistic shading, and off-screen rendering. In addition, numerous improvements to the interface were made. A new autobuild script now allows a much simpler installation of BALL and BALLView. Support for the PowerPC architecture (on Linux) was added, and the support for MacOS was improved.


Release Notes: Two new minimizers and support for the MMFF94 electrostatics switching function were added. The documentation was extended. Severals bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: Errors in the SMARTS matcher, the model dialog, and the documentation were adressed. Minor improvements were done for the Kekulizer, the Python interface, the Debian package, and the autoinstaller script.


Release Notes: Major changes were made in the underlying classes. A preview mode and small molecule database interface were added.


Release Notes: Autobuild support for MacOS, a Pubchem interface, and the ability to create ligands from SMILES expressions were added. Multithreading is now more efficient. Generic datasets are supported in the DatasetControl. A major cleanup of the Message and Event classes was done.


Release Notes: Improved rendering: better antialiasing, an optional preview mode, improved depth cueing, and higher detail levels. Easier installation with an autobuild script, Debian package building, and PowerPC support. Many minor bugfixes


Release Notes: Several errors were fixed, including some wrong bond order in the fragment database, the loading of project files, and some rare crashes. Some new features were added like the renaming of representations and the ability to reduce the viewing volume.


Release Notes: Support for recording macros by storing user inputs was added. A new "PyBALL" application for Python scripting was added. An improved Kekulizer implementation was added. Smaller changes include an easier installation routine, support for Qt 4.2.2, and many bugfixes.


Release Notes: This version brings full molecular editor functionality and the finished MMFF94 force field implementation. Toolbars were added to the GUI for better usability. Some new features for visualizing electrostatics are also available. Qt 4.2 and MacOS are now supported, and this version is much more stable than the previously released Alpha version.
