Release Date: January 14, 2014.

• new labels visual additions : connectors, backgrounds, and outlines
  • Note: We are building an interface that will make it easier to control labels interactively so that you won’t need to remember all of these settings explicitly, but these settings show how we have added flexibility and controls into labels
• New callouts for scene-based labels.

• New: get_renderer to return information about the graphics renderer
  New: focal_blur
• 
  
• New: get_bond to get bond properties
• fetch from pubchem with cid and sid codes
• Expanded get_version command to return more detailed build information (get_version -1)
• cmd.load_coords can now take any Python array (sized Nx3) and create an object from it
• New: callout to create scene-based labels
• Remove deprecated mray

• More settings annotated in Settings > Edit All > ...
• New: pdb_conect_nodup
• New: session_embeds_data, to encapsulate ancillary information inside a session
• 3f atom-level settings now supported
• Atom-state level settings
• Color settings are now stored as colors, they can be set as either colors, hex (i.e, 0xRRGGBB), or float values ( [1., 1., 1.])
• Suppress writing PDB “segi” field to PDB file if ignore_pdb_segi=1
• Many new labels settings

• New Search Wizard (CTRL-F) to find objects and selections in the Object Menu Panel

• Access settings and properties from the iterate/alter commands via “s.” and “p.”
• Improved the PDB Loader GUI

• read space group from CCP4 maps
• handle empty space group like P1 (for best support of map formats which do not have a space group)
