Far too late, but I've just made an alpha version of molsKetch Helium available on SourceForge. For the brave of you who want to try it: just follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. It should work with Qt 4.3, CMake 2.4 and OpenBabel 2.1. If you encounter a not-so-obvious bug or have other suggestions and feedback, just let me know in the SourceForge bug-tracker or by mail. Also check the release notes or TODO file for known issues.
Highlights are:
- An improved periodic table
- New panel for quick access to often used draw settings
- An initial KPart version (requires KDE4)
- Initial support for rotating
- Font and bondwidth can now be changed
- Support for i18n
The file can be downloaded here.
Thanks for all the fan-mail, it boosts motivation. There were some suggestions about more regular updates of the progress. Perhaps it's an idea to make regular blog postings on the progress, say once every two weeks or so. The posts won't be that interesting, but at least you'll be able to follow the progress (without continues svn checks). I'm open for other suggestions.
