Hi all,

CDK 1.4.0 is released.

I created a usual overview of changes since the previous release
(1.3.12) in my blog:

http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2011/07/cdk-140-changes-authors-and-reviewers.html

It does not describe the changes between 1.2 and 1.4. That will come
in the next weeks. In fact, I would like to ask everyone to blog,
email, or publish otherwise in two or three paragraphs the one changed
feature you like most of the 1.4 series!

Additionally, I like to encourage every project that is based on the
CDK (and this list of getting considerable indeed!), to send a post
when the tool has moved to CDK 1.4.x. In fact, I was even thinking
about making an annotated list of CDK-based projects, indicating where
to get it, what license, who did it (and/or distributes it), and what
CDK version they are using (or even changed/extended, like several
did).

Also, I like to point out that this 1.4 series has really been a
community project! Just look at the list of contributors (these
statistics are biased: it includes many patches from Stefan Kuhn, Mark
Rijnbeek, Arvid Berg, and Niels Out that were merged, when cleaning up
the CDK-JChemPaint patch two years ago; double kudos to these four
developers for their hard work on the renderer patch!):

500+  Egon Willighagen
124  Rajarshi Guha
108  Gilleain Torrance
38  Syed Asad Rahman
32  Stefan Kuhn
23  Mark Rynbeek
11  Arvid Berg
8  Jules Kerssemakers
6  Miguel Rojas Cherto
6  Jonathan Alvarsson
4  Andreas Truszkowski
4  Dmitry Katsubo
2  Onkar Shinde
2  Saravanaraj
2  Uli Köhler
2  Nina Jeliazkova (IdeaConsult Ltd)
1  Brian Gilman (Wingu)
1  Carl Mäsak
1  Jonty Lawson
1  Julio Peironcely
1  Peter Odéus (AstraZeneca)
1  Scooter Morris
1  Stephan Beisken

Impressive, not? Major contribution organizations who effectively
funded this release include the European Bioinformatics Institute (via
Christoph's and Asad's teams), and the affiliations of me and
Rajarshi. I annotated a few names in the above list with the company
they work for. While minor contributions, we value very much these
contributions from commercial entities.

I also want to point out that the SMSD patch includes code that
originates from Rich Apodaca's MX code base (MIT-licensed) which is
merged in too. Thanx to Rich to his important work on Open Source
cheminformatics!

Over the next weeks, I will try to figure out the important additions
since the second CDK paper, so effectively since the 1.0 series, and
over this summer, I plan to start drafting the third CDK paper.

Well, that's it for now. I am looking forward to your reviews!

Egon
