[Gchemutils-main] The Gnome Chemistry Utils 0.8.7 and 0.9.3 released.

[Jean Bréfort]

Hi,

Two new releases are available. 0.8.7 is a stable release which fixes
three bugs (two crashers):
* Don't use strndup but strncpy [#22023].
* Do not set properties for an unknow element
when loading bodr data [#22513].
* Fixed gconf keys paths for Gnome Crystal.

0.9.3 is a development version and is just made available for those who
whish to test the new features. However the programs might be very
unstable and reliable and should not be used for production purposes.
News for 0.9.3 are:
3d viewer:
* show multiple bonds as multiple cylinders
in ball and stick mode.
* prints using GtkPrint.
* Loads files using GIO.
calc:
* display molar and monoisotopic masses with more digits.
* prints isotopic pattern chart.
GChemPaint:
* Fix loading of double reaction arrows. [#22223]
* prints using GtkPrint and Cairo.
* enhanced loaders for cdx and cdxml files.
* initial support for nicknames and generic symbols in
molecules. [#21728]
* Do not crash after failing to merge two molecules. [#22485]
Gnome Crystal:
* prints using GtkPrint.
GSpectrum:
* prints using GtkPrint.
periodic table:
* prints charts using GtkPrint.
libgcu:
* new classes: gcu::Printable, gcu::PrintSetupDlg for
GtkPrint support.

However, there are a few regressions. Using gio to load files might fail
for some network files, and gchempaint export to cdxml (as well as cdx)
is broken (an empty file is generated).

Now, veveral people asked for the 0.10 release schedule. At the moment,
I'm certaint there will be a 0.9.4 release in may or june, and I home to
reach the beta1 stage during the summer. I nitially hoped to be able to
release 0.10 just one year after 0.8, but I'm clearly late. May be I
should have more modest abitions for future releases ;-)

Best regards,
Jean
