### jmol-0.5

- Numerous small bug fixes.(DG)
- FileSaver, XYZSaver and CMLSaver classes are new. You can now save the current structure to either XYZ or CML formats.(DG,EW)
- Package name is now org.openscience.jmol.(DG)
- Modifications to the CML parsing routines to use the new CML-1999-05-15.dtd (EW)
- DTD resolver that allows us to embed the current DTD in the jar file. (DG)
- Rewrite of file-I/O routines. They all implement ChemFile now. (DG)

### jmol-0.4

- Jmol can now parse Chemical Markup Language (CML) files thanks to E.L. Willighagen(EW)
- Many internal changes in the AtomType JTable supporting classes to reverse some stupid decisions I made early on. (DG)
- AtomTypeTable now stores the AtomType information as a resource (DG)
- Changes in AtomTypeTable headers to support multiple line headers (DG)
- StatusBar is now a 3-wide set of JLabels that post more useful information (DG,CS)
- Swing 1.1.1 Beta 2 (HTML labels if we want to use them)(DG)

### jmol-0.3

- PhysicalProperties (Charges, NMRShieldings, Vectors, etc.) can be set by the file readers. Christoph Steinbeck asked for this originally when he wrote GaussianFile. It was a good idea, and was worth the extensive rewrite. (DG)
- Swing 1.1.1 Beta 1 (fixes some annoying bugs for Java 1.1 users) (DG)
- The GaussianFile class has been updated to read general Gaussian files (not just G98) and to automatically compute chemical shifts using stored ab initio values for tetramethyl silane's chemical shift. (CS)
- Some bug fixes.(DG)
- Shaded bonds that look like cylinders. Well, at least they look a little bit like cylinders. End caps would be a nice addition, but I've been a bit busy lately.(DG)
- FileTyper and ImageTyper accessories for JFileChooser make choosing file types more sensible than just using the filename filter. These classes were rationalized after 0.2 had already been released. They also listen to the JFileChooser to try to guess what kind of file you just selected (only if UseFileExtensions is set).(DG)

### jmol-0.2

- Many internal changes.
- Jmol has moved to a new home. I've been working on a web site called "The OpenScience Project", and have registered a domain for it, so Jmol is the first of the software projects that is housed at www.openscience.org (DG)
- Christoph Steinbeck contributed a new input filter for Gaussian 98 log files, complete with a parser for NMR chemical shifts.(CS)
- The file readers now subclass a more general (but very simple) ChemFile class. This should make addition of other file readers easier.(DG)
- File Type selection is no longer dependent on the file's extension. You can select a "*.jnk" file and explicitly tell Jmol what kind of file it is when opening the file. (DG)
- There is a strange interaction between fillPolygon in jdk1.2 and the X server under Solaris x86. (And circles under jdk1.2 look lumpy on many architectures.) I've built a workaround into Jmol which involves talking directly to the Graphics2D object underlying the display panel to set some Rendering hints. This workaround has the benefit of making some really nice pictures when you want high quality (but lower speed). If you have jdk1.2, turn on AntiAliasing in the Preferences to see the difference. An unfortunate side effect is that you now need the jdk1.2 classes to compile (but not run) Jmol. (DG)
- A Jpeg encoder has been added. The JpegEncoder and its associated classes are Copyright (c) 1998, James R. Weeks and BioElectroMech. This software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.(DG)
- Build process now uses a Makefile.(DG)
- The Makefile now has the ability to create javadocs of the source code.(HG)

### jmol-0.1.1

- Removed the extra double-buffering that resulted from not understanding that Swing components are automatically double-buffered. This resulted in substantial performance improvements.(DG)
- Fixed some depth strangeness in the drawn atom sizes.(DG)
- Fixed the bonds so that they render more realistically as the molecule is being rotated. End caps for the bonds are still in progress.(DG)
- Reordered the toolbar buttons and added a button for molecule deformations that will eventually do something useful. (DG)

### jmol-0.1

- There are some major new features, so the minor version number has been incremented. (DG)
- Atom Types are now editable using "Atom Properties" in the Edit Menu. This added a large chunk of interface code to do the JTable and cell editors and column sorters. The edited atom types are saved in the .jmol directory under the user's home directory.(DG)
- The Preferences dialog now saves preference info in the .jmol directory under the user's home directory.(DG)
- Reorganization of classes into a jar file.(DG)
- An atom selection mechanism now is working.(DG)
- Reorganization of source: BondTypeTable is gone, BondType is now replaced by Bond. Many other changes for new AtomTypeTable. (DG)
- Silly little Splash screen, but it makes startup feel faster when there is something popped up on the screen almost immediately.
- There is now a "Front" item in the View menu. The View menu actions are not intuitive yet, so they will be changing in a future version. Don't get used to them.(DG)
- There is a new "fast forward" button in the Animate dialog that takes the animation to the last frame.(DG)
- The Rewind, FastForward, Next, and Previous buttons in the Animate dialog now stop the animation when they are pushed. (DG)
- Swing version incremented to 1.1

### jmol-0.0.4

- Now using swing-1.1beta3, with all of the associated package name changes from com.sun.java.swing to javax.swing (DG)
- Fixed bug in jmol.bat script (DG)
- "What's New" menu item in "Help" menu displays a dialog with the contents of this file (DG)
- "doc" subdirectory, empty for now, but it's the thought that counts (DG)

### jmol-0.0.3

- Image encoders courtesy Jef Poskanzer were used to export GIF and PPM files (DG)
- New "Display" Menu with submenus for atoms, bonds, and labels (DG)
- New Icons courtesy Dean Jones were used whenever possible (DG)
