Pre-regeneration ability of JChem Tables
Search engine
Homology groups are now supported on the query side.
R-group decomposition integration: New method: JChemSearch.getHitsAsRgDecomp() to obtain ligands, R-group decomposition table, covering Markush structure.
Enhanced undefined R-atom feature:
Multiple atom indexes are returned and colored for group hits. (Added MolSearch.findFirstGroup(), findNextGroup(), findAllGroups(). )
Option to fine-tune R atom matching: possible combinations of group- , H- and empty matching. (Added SearchConstants.UNDEF_R_MATCHING_GROUP_H and SearchConstants.UNDEF_R_MATCHING_GROUP_H_EMPTY.)
Multiple attachment R-atoms are handled
R-atom matching limitations relieved.
Equality check of R-atoms with the same number.
New search options "RLigandEqualityCheck:y/n" and " bridgingRAllowed:n/y".
Vague bond level 1 is extended: 1-atom single and single/double bond ligands of an aromatic ring and single bonds between aromatic rings are considered as single/aromatic and single/double/aromatic.
Special data sgroups designated for duplicate searching : data sgroups with name starting with [DUP] are automatically considered in duplicate search.
Reduced atom-by-atom search (MolSearch) memory requirements.
New similarity metrics supported on cached fingerprint.
API: New constants in chemaxon.sss.SearchConstants for denoting special matches in hits: HIT_R (former R_NODE_PLACEHOLDER), HIT_MULTICENTER, HIT_UNMAPABLE, HIT_LP, HIT_R_EMPTY_MATCH.
Automatically use the right stereo model in all search types and table types.
Semantics of D<n> query property becomes the same as s<n>.
New search option: tautomer duplicate filter
New search option: ignore Chemical Terms errors during DB search for structures of invalid type (syntactical errors are still thrown).
R-group decomposition
R-group decomposition can now be used with JChem Base, JChem Cartridge and MolSearch licenses. Previous licenses (Fragmenter, JKlustor, JChem for Excel) continue to work.
R-group decomposition can generate a covering Markush structure (RgMolecule). (command line: rgdecomp -M, API: MarkushGenerator ).
RGroupDecomposition has a new API , most of the old API has been deprecated.
Now results are returned in a Decomposition object.
R-atoms are added automatically if query does not contain them. In this case these R-atoms can match the empty set by default.
Attachment option atom label with R-symbol (ATTACHMENT_RLABEL) is added.
Alignment is made optional in rgdecomp (default: true for 2D output): added parameter -k, --keep-coordinates.
R-group decomposition command-line aromatizes query and target by default (-s 'aromatize' is the default).
Jcsearch command-line
Similarity search exports similarity values.
Exception is thrown if no query specified.
New option to return database fields as SDF fields
JChem Manager application
Markush add-on:
Import of Markush DARC (VMN - format of the Merged Markush Service) files into the database.
More than two attachment points for R-groups are now supported (with a temporary representation).
More intelligent handling of user-defined homology group definitions and enumeration definitions. All groups can have context sensitive definitions. Enumeration for user defined groups can be different than the search definition. During enumeration any numbers of connections for the homology atom are possible.
Rgroup definitions with single atoms don't need to have explicit attachment points.
During hit retrieval/coloring: homology groups are expanded according to the hit if the appropriate Markush display mode is chosen. The former HitColoringAndAlignmentOptions field "enumerateMarkush" is replaced by the new field "markushDisplayMode".
Double bond stereo is ignored for double bonds coming from bond lists.
Markush code can use custom reagent ID if present
The bundled database drivers has been moved to a separate directory in the JChem lib. The name of the directory is "jdbc"
JChem Cartridge
Markush support in JChem Cartridge

Substructure hit highlighting didn't work if a homology group was in the hit and rotation was chosen as well.
The default value of 'hitIncludesRNodes' in MolSearchOptions is set to "true". Jcsearch output now uses symbols instead of negative constants to denote R-atoms, empty matches.
setStereoModel(STEREO_MODEL_DEFAULT) - incorrectly - threw an IllegalArgumentException.
JChemSearchOptions.setMaxResultCount now throws IllegalArgumentException if maxResultCount parameter is a negative number. API doc has been improved as well.

JChem Base
The structure of JChem tables changed, 3 more columns were added:
cd_hash : hash code for speeding up duplicate filtering during import (registration). With this column there's no need for a composite index on the fingerprint columns, therefore the length of the fingerprint is no longer limited by the maximum length of composite fingerprints in the database.
cd_flags : for storing molecule-specific tags. Currently only indicates if the missing chiral flag should be overridden in imported structures. This means there's no need to change the chiral flag field in the original molecule string when the import option "Set chiral flag for MDL formats" is enabled.
cd_timestamp : the timestamp of the insertion of the structure.
The old tables are transformed automatically into the new format on the first start of the jcman GUI.
JChemSearch

User's guide for search
JKlustor:
Two new parameters added to Compr.
Bug fixes including Compr overflow bug for very large datasets.
The ID of the last imported molecule is returned by using UpdateHandler.execute(boolean returnLastId).
Note: This feature works only for Oracle yet.
Marvin 2.9.12 included.
PostgreSQL support added.
File-table field pairs can be specified also from command line on import.
Bugfixes for trigger creation/removal, HTMLTools.convertForJavaScript(), connection dialog, stereo checking in exact search, and more.
JKlustor improvements:
Marvin 2.9.11 included.
DB2 support added.
Enhanced multiuser support.
A new import/export text file format, the JTF added.
New classes added to JChem API providing import/export capabilities:
Importer
Exporter
ProgressWriter
From now Oracle uses triggers for incrementing the CD_ID column.
JChem will detect older tables and creates the triggers. Do not run another copy of JChemManager when asked to proceed. Closing other JChem applications is also recommended.
Workaround for MM MySQL jdbc driver bug, reduced memory need in case of structure caching and exporting
Bug fix: Sometimes not the correct parity information was calculated when explicit H atoms were connected to chiral atoms. In that case of databases containing such atoms, the regeneration of the structure tables is advised.
Minor GUI improvements.
Using older JChem versions after installing this version in not recommended.
Marvin 2.9.8 included.
Bug fix for missing structures in SDF export.
Marvin 2.9.5 included.
Method for checking if connection is alive: isConnectionAlive.
Workaround for occasional communication link failure with MySQL
Marvin 2.9.2 included.
Fix: Windows style line separators in the export operation of JChemManager under Windows.
JKlustor:
Marvin 2.9 included.
Faster structure searching due to caching SMILES strings and fingerprints at the same time. See JChemSearch.structureCaching(boolean) .
Marvin 2.8 included.
JKlustor:
Visualizing results. A new module, CreateView, composes an SDfile that contains both structures and calculation results. The generated SDfiles can be displayed by the MarvinView application.
Jarp: Optionally, nearest neighbor search can be run separately from clustering. (It helps to refine the setting of the clustering parameters, because the time consuming part of the process can be run before clustering.)
Marvin 2.7.12 included.
JKlustor:
Marvin 2.7.9 included.
Jarp:
Methods are added to the UpdateHandlerclass for creating and dropping structure tables and for retrieving the names of structure tables.
Marvin 2.7.7 included.
Jarp:
common neighbors (-c option) are taken as a proportion of the number of elements in the shorter list. (Previously all elements in the two lists were used.) This results faster calculation and less singletons.
Optional centroid calculation.
Better command line syntax checking.
To save memory space, the descriptors are stored in float (4 bytes) instead of double (8 bytes) values.
Fixing a bug (since 1.5.2) that spoiled the default setting for the existence of the bitwise AND operator in the case of MSSQL Server, MS Access, and MySQL.
Marvin 2.7.4 included.
New add-on module for clustering: JKlustor.
Improved compatibility with the Interbase Server product of Inprise (previously Borland).
Support of auto-incrementing the cd_id column by trigger.
Support of bitwise (binary) AND by built-in or user-defined functions in the database.
Information on integrating JChem with Apache and Tomcat.
Fix for exact searching of molecules containing pyrrole type N.
Because of changes that affect fix columns in the database, regeneration of the structure tables is advised.

Results can be ordered by
the calculated similarity in the case of similarity searching
the cd_id values in all cases
New import/export formats in JChemManager: Daylight Smiles and MDL Molfile
New fix columns: cd_formula and cd_molweight . If you would like to add these columns into an existing structure table, follow these steps:
Export the old structure table into an SDfile.
Drop the old structure table.
Create a new structure table with the same columns defined.
Import the SDfile.
The examples will work only if you perform the above steps.
Workaround for ambiguities of Smiles notation: Explicit single bond ("-") in generated Smiles code when aromatic rings are attached by one single bond.
