A.4 Babel3 2.0

August 2005 v2.0

  1. Babel3 2.0 is the first officially supported version of this program. Prior to this, the program "Babel2" (babel2.cpp) was an unsupported OEChem example, despite its critical functionality. Hence the promotion. "Babel2 v2.0b1" was this program's beta, prior to renaming.

  2. Built with OEChem 1.3.4.

  3. Performance has been improved significantly (x3 in typical use).

  4. Fixed one-off bug in mol count with -n option.

  5. Keyless syntax enabled; e.g., "babel foo.sdf bar.mol2".

  6. Multiconformer perception for XYZ and PDB format disallowed, due to fundamental format limitations (ref: OEChem 1.3.4 manual).
