Since I could not find any information in internet (it seems like Ghemical homepage and Ghemical's page at freshmeat.net needs some updates as well as changelog for v2.01 in the source tar), I would like to know what differences are there between these two versions.

The difference is a minor fix in GAMESS interface dialog.

The multiplicity feature is just not complete yet...

Humm... I need to study this later.

In ghemical-2 there is a "single document interface" type user interface 
(like often in text editors etc) so one can have just one and only one 
document open. So "New File" closes the old file.
