This is the first release of V1.2, some minor things may still change. Documentation on http://www.moltalk.org has been updated. What changed: * we take care of the chemical element name in PDB format, both read and written The method -type in Atom has just disappeared and is replaced by -element and -elementName. * we take care of the partial charge of atoms in PDB format, both read and written New is the method -charge in Atom to read the partial charge of an atom. It can also be set by method -setCharge: . * calling getSequence (or get3DSequence) in class Chain has side-effect off setting the field seqnum in each Residue. The new method -sequenceNumber in Residue gives access to this numbering. * all static variables have been moved to their classes. As such we try to become thread safe really soon. * some bugs cleared * better support on Windows What will change: * speed improvements in StepTalk will make scripting with MolTalk even more interesting. * started to implement a CORBA interface, called MolORB, that allows access to objects in MolTalk from other systems, languages, your program. Happy MolTalking!! Alex.
