Dear all,

I'm pleased to announce that the next version of the RDKit -- 2014.03
(a.k.a Q1 2014) -- is released. This is a "bit" late, but it turned out
that it takes longer to get a 6-month release together than it did a
3-month release. Who ever would have anticipated that? ;-)

The release notes are below.

The release and binary files are on the github release page:
https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/releases/tag/Release_2014_03_1
as well as the sourceforge downloads page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rdkit/files/rdkit/Q1_2014/

I have uploaded 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries for Python 2.7 and, in
response to a couple of requests, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries for
Java.

The online version of the documentation at rdkit.org has been updated.

Thanks to the everyone who submitted bug reports and suggestions for this
release!

Please let me know if you find any problems with the release or have
suggestions for the next one, which is scheduled for September 2014.

Best Regards,
-greg

******  Release_2014.03.1 *******
(Changes relative to Release_2013.09.2)

!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!
 - Due to a bug fix in the rotatable bonds definition, the default
   rotatable bond calculation returns different values than before.
   This also affects MQN descriptor #18.
