Release Notes

New features and Changes in Molconn-Z 4.04

1. Molconn-Z 4.04 (standalone) was compiled on several platforms:
• Under Irix 6.5 using the -mips3 -n32 compiler directives.
• Under Red Hat Linux 6.2 (also runs under Caldera Linux, and probably other "flavors").
• Under Windows2000 (also runs under 95, 98, ME and XP).
• Under Solaris (SunOS) 5.7.

 
2. This release of Molconn-Z fixes a few small bugs in 4.03:
   • Several of the group type definitions were incomplete, and were thus missing rather obvious examples of the functional group. We thank Isabelle Vergely of Synt:em for devising and running a good test set.
   • "thionyl" has been renamed to "thiocarbonyl" and "pyridazine" has been deleted (it is the same as azo).
   • There were a couple of mistakes in the text headers that were reported by Manish Sud of Lion Biosciences. These have been corrected.
3. All of the errors and warnings from Molconn-Z are now directed to "stderr" if you wish to take advantage of this.
4. A memory leak was discovered and corrected. The program was "leaking" about 3-4 kb per molecule. Sorry about that! It should be OK now.
