[Molvis-list] FirstGlance 2.00 released

[Eric Martz]

I have today released FirstGlance in Jmol version 2.00. As always,

http://FirstGlance.Jmol.Org

This version needs no Java. By default, it uses JSmol (no Java), so 
it can run on computers where Java is not installed, or is 
unavailable (such as iPads).

It can also run with Java, which greatly improves speed, performance, 
and smoothness of rotation of the molecule.

There is a new Preferences tab, in which you can set it to default to 
using Java. Installing and enabling Java in various web browsers has 
become more and more challenging, so detailed instructions are linked 
to the Preferences tab.

This version has no new capabilities for molecular display. It mainly 
makes using JSmol without Java much more user friendly (I hope!).

Feedback welcome. There is always more to do but feedback can alert 
me to issues I've overlooked, and help me set priorities.

Eric
