******  Release_Q42009_1 *******
(Changes relative to Release_Q32009_1)

!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!
  - A bug fix in the SMARTS parser has changed the way atom-map
    numbers in Reaction SMARTS are parsed.
      Earlier versions of the RDKit required that atom maps be
      specified at the beginning of a complex atom query:
        [CH3:1,NH2]>>[*:1]O
      The corrected version only accepts this form:
        [CH3,NH2:1]>>[*:1]O
    This change may break existing SMARTS patterns.
  - A switch to using cmake as the build system instead of bjam has
    made the RDKit much easier to build.

Bug Fixes
  - the SMARTS parser now correctly requires tha atom-map numbers be
    at the end of a complex atom query.
    (issue 1804420)
  - a bug in the way SMARTS matches are uniquified has been fixed
    (issue 2884178)

New Features
  - The new SMARTS atomic query feature "x" (number of ring bonds) is
    now supported.
  - The proof-of-concept for a SWIG-based wrapper around the RDKit has
    been expanded a bit in functionality. Samples are now included for
    Java, C#, and Python.
  - Information about the current RDKit and boost versions is now
    available from C++ (file RDGeneral/versions.h) and Python
    (rdBase.rdkitVersion and rdBase.boostVersion)
  - The KNN code now supports weighted nearest-neighbors calculations
    with a radius cutoff.

Other
  - The lapack dependency has been completely removed from the RDKit.
  - The supported build system for the RDKit is now cmake
    (http://www.cmake.org) instead of bjam. See the file INSTALL for
    the new installation instructions. Files for bjam are still
    included in the distribution but are deprecated and will be
    removed in a future version.
