New CCP4MG release (2.5.1)


From: mcnicholas

Dear All,
 The CCP4MG team would like to announce the latest release (version 2.5.1)
of the program. This is largely a performance and stability improvement
release. A fuller list of changes is given below. The program can be
downloaded from:

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/MG/download/

Best wishes,
CCP4MG

* Major speed in improvements from rewriting OpenGL drawing to use Vertex
Arrays and Vertex Buffer Objects
* Fix several memory leaks, especially serious ones when saving movie
frames and deleting structures.
* Fix translation problem when generating assemblies in PISA interface.
* The Linux binary is now built on CentOS 5 for better compatibilty with
more Linux distributions. A build parameter was also changed to increase
portability and stability.
* Multiple lights now work when OpenGL shaders active.
* Better transparency of surfaces.
* Flat colour option inside surface with shiny outside with OpenGL
shaders.
* Fix problem with clipping of maps after transformation has been applied.
* New drawing style "Circles".
* Small utility to generate idealized alpha, pi and 3-10 helices.
* Fix problem with some hydrogen-bonds not being dashed lines when they
should.
* Approximate normal modes calculation and visualization.
* Fix problems with bits of file dialog still being visible after closing.
* Support for filenames/directories with non-ASCII names.
* Fix problems with lighting in Render module.
* Selection improvements: much better performance with large structures,
use SITE specification in pdb files.
* Improvements in identifying lipids.
* Colour blend goes form blue to red as chain goes N to C.
* Movie preferences simplified.
* Fix problem with R3/H3 symmetry from pdb files.
* Fix the "Error with fixed model" problem when restoring status in
Superpose.
* Fix loading of animation from file with multiple models.
* 2FOFCWT, PH2FOFCWT columns selected by default, if present, when loading
mtz file.
* Fix problem with long file names in sequence viewer.
* Visual improvement in the "Axes" style of thermal ellipsoids.
Fix loading of some clustalw files into sequence viewer.
* Experimental visualization of results of ProSMART calculations. Colour
by ProSMART score and superpose using ProSMART transformation matrices
implemented.
* Display table docked by default.
* Built-in movie player for Linux.
* Some additional options in picture definition file View stanza: scale =
'auto' (zoom to show whole molecule), scale = '25 ang' (zoom to have 25
angstroms from screen top to bottom); add option to orient view along
smallest principal component e.g. orientation =
{'molData':'toxd','selection':'// /45-46'}
