[uvaretto]

1) Molekel 5.1 released

2) Website updates

3) GLSL Shaders Support

===================================

(1) *Molekel 5.1 released*
    
Molekel 5.1 has been released together with some Flash presentations and
demo videos, on-line documentation has been updated and a new Gallery
section has been added to the website.

Changelog:

* Removed local documentation: the documentation menu item now opens the
on-line documentation 

* Enhanced visual quality by patching the OpenMOIV library 

* Added option to change atom and bond size 

* Added option to change the material color for SoCylinder/SoSphere 

* Added option to load the atom color table from file (sample color file in
data dir) 

* Added animation of molecules read from multi-frame PDB and XYZ 

* Added option to use cube data as Molecular Electrostatic Potential when
computing SAS or SES 

* Added Z-matrix format (to build molecule from one z-matrix, see .zmatrix
example in data dir) 

* Added option to change animation step 

* Added option to save one image per molecular orbital (only one molecular
orbital per-image is displayed in the saved images) 

* Added option to smooth with Laplacian smoothing iso-surfaces generated
from Gaussian cube files 

* Molekel now asks for confirmation before deleting a molecule 

* Fixed bugs:
 
  o 333 - Molecule is scaled when window resized, surface is not 
  
  o 334 - Cannot open file specified on command line. 
  
  o 335 - PDF and PostScript files are not replaced 
  
  o 337 - Loading of PDBs with multiple molecules is slow, adding support
for multi-frame pdbs has fixed this bug 
  
  o 340 - Molden input issues: Bohr units were not supported 
  
  o 341 - Program may crash when selecting a molecule loaded from pdb:
issues with OpenBabel::ReadFormula(); see OpenBabel bug 1632403 
  
  o 356 - Cannot load files on Mac OS X: an OpenBabel patch for version 5.0
has been made available, the new version doesn't need this patch.
