Well, a little project I started over the weekend turned into a monster. But
I think it's done, and if there are no bugs, I'll be amazed. The goal was to
increase performance speed, and one little test I did suggested that script
processing, in particular where math or atom selections are involved, has
increased in speed by 10-50%. So I'm satisfied.
But there was a price. Up until now we have had this line in build.xml:
source="1.3" target="1.1"
That now reads
source="1.4" target="1.4"
For Jmol 11.9. Is there some reason we should be sticking with the older
compatibility? The Java 1.3 version is long out of service, I think, and
when I tried downloading it and installing it as a plug-in to Firefox, and
it just crashed the browser. The advantage of 1.4 appears to be some
additional methods that work with BitSets (all those atom and bond
selections) that make those operations far more efficient.
