    • In the case of processing XML fragments not starting with "<?xml version="..."?>", it has become possible to specify that the input text is in XML format by using the "d2s:content-type=application/xml" format option.

    • Metadata is also extracted from older (since 2001) USPTO patents in XML format: the section where a name is found is recorded as metadata (title, abstract, description, or claim number). Furthermore, document metadata is extracted as well: patent title and ID, inventors, IPC categories.

    • OCR error correction has been added for Chinese names.

  • Structure to Name (s2n)

    • In fused ring systems with an atom being in a non-standard valence state, the generated name conforms to the IUPAC rules by using the lambda notation only in front of the fused names and not inside the component name.

  • Atom index issue might have occurred when molecule contained explicit hydrogen.

  • Protonation (pKa, Major Microspecies, Isoelectric Point)

    • "averagemicrospeciescharge" calculation in cxcalc and "Isoelectric Point" calculation in MarvinSketch threw "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" in the reported cases.

  • NMR (HNMR, CNMR Prediction, ...)

    • The calculated chemical shifts of equivalent atoms were not consistent in case of compounds with symmetric ring systems.

Bugfixes

• MView applet

  • Atom and Bond set coloring was not working properly when Marvin View Applet was called from JavaScript.

• Image I/O

  • When imageImportServiceURL startup option was not set for MarvinSketch, the same setting on the Preferences panel was lost. By default shortcuts and startup scripts do not specify this command line startup option.

• Java WebStart

  • chemaxon-core.jar, fontbox-1.7.1.jar and pdfbox1.7.1.jar were missing.

• Calculator Plugins

  • Tautomerization Plugin threw exception during generic tautomer generation if the input structure contained metal ions with valence error.

New features and improvements

• Image I/O

  • Recently added rendering options are now available to be set from MolPrinter API (Absolute label visibility, Peptide display type, R-group visibility, Any bond style, Lone pair rendering style, Charge rendering style).

• MarvinSketch GUI

  • A new "imageImportServiceURL=[URL]" program argument was added to the MarvinSketch application.

• MarvinSketch applet

  • A new "imageImportServiceURL" was added as an applet parameter.

• Graphical object handling

  • When an MMidPoint object was set as an end point for an MPolyLine, getting the MMidPoint location caused a StackOverFlowError.

• Import/Export

  • Document to Structure (d2s)

    • Names broken over two lines with a hyphen (-) are now recognized.

    • Names followed by a superscript text, for instance, a reference or footnote number (e.g., "aspirin¹¹") are now recognized.

  • Name to Structure (n2s)

    • In some cases, such as "4-methylthiophenylmethyl", there is an ambiguity whether "thiophenyl" refers to a compound derived from thiophene or thiophenol. Name to Structure now gives priority to the thiophenol related compound interpretation; though, "thiophenyl" by itself will still be supported as thiophene derivatives.

Bugfixes

• Painting

  • If R-group visibility was turned off and any of the bonds had label(s) to paint, an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception was thrown.

• Image I/O

  • Display parameters of charge, lone pair, peptide could not be set for molexporter. The default values were charge "in a circle", lone pair "as line", peptide "three letter format". Image copy also used these values.

• Import/Export

  • MOL, SDF, RXN, RDF

    • Aliphatic query properties of atoms with query string were not read from MDL formats.

    • After importing Extended MOL files that contain superatom S-groups the orientation of S-groups could be changed.

    • Atom containing both aliphatic and unsaturated query properties were exported incorrectly to MDL formats.

    • SDF import returned structure with incorrect S-group embedding.

  • SMILES/SMARTS

    • SMILES T* option did not export all SDF fields, but only those which appeared in the first molecule.

• Molecule Representation

  • S-groups

    • Two superatom S-groups being each others' parents caused infinite loop. In these cases, now java.lang.IllegalStateException is thrown.

  • Valence Check

    • Phosphorous atom in hexafluorophosphate was not accepted by Valence Check.

• Stereochemistry

  • Cloning of BicyclostereoDescriptor in RxnMolecules threw java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException.

• Clean 2D

  • Terminal methyl-group in phosphate-ester was cleaned incorrectly.

  • Clean2D could not handle condensed adamantane derivatives.

• Calculations

  • Other (HBDA, Huckel Analysis, ...)

    • The --pH command line option did not work in hydrogen bond acceptor-donor calculation.

• Structure Checker

  • If fixer action was not defined, default fixer was not applied in structurechecker command line tool.

New features and improvements

• Import/Export

  • Document to Structure (d2s)

    • Startup time of document to structure has been significantly reduced. This is especially important when processing very short text documents, such as a single sentence or paragraph. The speedup in such cases can be up to 10 times faster.

Bugfixes

• Calculations

  • NMR (HNMR, CNMR Prediction, ...)

    • NMR Prediction did not use the mixed prediction algorithm, so NMR shift predictions were less accurate.

• Chemical Terms

  • The -g (ignore error) option of evaluate did not work when -x (extract) option was used.

• Structure Checker

  • WedgeCleanFixer threw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when the erroneous wedge bonds were located inside an S-group.

• Import/Export

  • CDX/CDXML

    • Graphical arrows "retrosynthetic" and "equilibrium" are imported from CDX and CDXML files.

  • Name to Structure (n2s)

    • Names, such as "methyl ether", are used either to denote a group (CH3-O-*) or the dimethyl ether compound (CH3-O-CH3), as well. The default behavior still is to generate the complete compound, but a new name option "expectGroup" has been added to get the group instead.

    • A name converter can now prevent a name from being converted (even by other lower-priority converters). See the API of the chemaxon.naming.NameConverter class.

  • Document to Structure (d2s)

    • Peptide 3 letter abbreviations are now recognized in documents, for instance ValGlySerAla or Val-Gly-Ser-Ala.

    • A new option has been added to control the maximum time allowed for processing a document: format option "d2s:timeout=60" to allow a maximum of 60 seconds. Default is 0 meaning infinite timeout.

    • A new option has been added to disable the extraction of OLE embedded structures from Office documents (option name: "d2s:-ole").

    • Structures imported from the custom name dictionary now have the "Type" property set to "custom" instead of "common".

    • Memory usage has been significantly reduced when processing large PDF documents (for instance hundreds of scanned pages).

    • Structure image conversion by OSRA has become faster, resulting in more structures converted when previously a timeout was reached.

    • CAS Registry Numbers® (which typically include commas) are not converted by default by d2s anymore (they are still converted by n2s). The old behavior can be activated by using the "d2s:CASnames" format option.

    • The unwanted interpretation of some common words as chemical names, that are frequent especially in patents, has been avoided. For example, the 'amino' group when used in the phrase 'amino acid', or 'Ser' when it is not the abbreviation of Serine but 'Ser. No.' for 'serial number'.

  • Structure to Name(s2n)

    • Multiple name generation tasks can now be run in parallel at full speed to make use of multiple CPUs and cores.

    • Multiple name import tasks now run faster, as partial locking is no longer required and has been removed.

    • Generated names now use unicode characters when needed, for instance, 6λ⁴-thiadispiro[5.2.5⁹.2⁶]hexadecane instead of 6$l^{4}-thiadispiro[5.2.5^{9}.2^{6}]hexadecane. The pure ASCII output can be generated using the "name:ascii" format option.

  • Image I/O

    • New parameter imageImportServiceURL has been added to the image importer module. The URL can be set on the "Preferences" dialog or as an import option.

  • VMN import

    • VMNs of type "display" are now read.

    • VMN abbreviated group list has been extended: carbon chains up to 50 members have been added.

    • AV (abnormal valence) property is now stored in atom property and not set as atom valence. The VMN valence representation will be revised in a later version.

    • Deuterium and tritium count property is handled properly in VMN (added as D and T ligands for non-homology atoms). D and T are transposed during the import in comparison to the VMN, as this represents the correct information in the majority of the MMS database.

    • Correcting incorrect atom types in VMNs: C0 is transformed to CHK; C1 is transformed to C; homology groups in ring are transformed to XX

    • Attachment bond type is set to parent R-atom bond type if different.

    • VMN import option is available for switching off corrections:

• Molecule Representation

  • New option, MolAtom.BRIDGEATOM_H, is added to Hydrogenize.removeHAtoms(MoleculeGraph, int) method to remove hydrogens connected to bridgehead atoms.

  • Valence Check

    • Local valence check has been introduced, which calculates the valence by considering only the neighboring atoms. Although the new valence check is the default, the old one is also available.

  • S-groups

    • ElementalAnalizerPlugin calculates Polymer Formula for molecules containing SRU or RepeatingUnit S-groups.

• Calculations

  • Charge (Charge, Polarizability, ...)

    • Dipole Moment Calculation plugin: calculates the net molecular polarity.

  • NMR (CNMR Prediction, HNMR Prediction)

    • New, mixed HOSE code/CXN model has been introduced, which results in more accurate NMR shift prediction.

    • C-F and H-F couplings are considered during NMR shift calculation.

    • Diastereotopic protons are supported in HNMR Prediction.

    • The tautomers of the predicted molecule are accessible via the Options > Select Tautomers... option of the NMR GUI. The spectra of the selected tautomers with defined percent composition are added to the predicted spectrum.

  • Chemical Terms

    • "molString" and "molFormat" Chemical Terms functions are accessible under the name "molConvert" as well.

• Structure Checker

  • New Structure Checker GUI has been introduced. Besides the redesigned GUI, new features are also available:

    • Profile management;

    • Filters in Report view.

  • Structure Checker is going to be moved to the MarvinBeans package. Until it is done, the new Structure Checker GUI is available in both JChem and MarvinBeans packages as Structure Checker JChem and Structure Checker, respectively.

  • Substructure Checker feature is accessible only in Structure Checker JChem until the complete relocation of Structure Checker.

  • Improved R-group Attachment Error Checker detects R-group definitions having incorrect R-group attachment orders. Fixer is not available for this feature yet.

  • New Explicit Hydrogen Checker options are ready for use.

  • Checkers that are not recognized as internal or external checker are called: "Invalid Checkers". Invalid Checkers cannot be used in valid Structure Checker configurations; they need to be removed to perform proper working behavior.

• Build/Installation

  • Marvin Beans and JChem installers - for Linux - bundled with Java 1.6.0_33 have been introduced.

  • Document to Structure (d2s)

    • Several names separated by a comma were sometimes wrongly recognized as a single name.

    • Document to structure was leaking some memory in a way that was problematic for extremely large documents (tens of thousands of structures in a single document).

    • When using the d2s API, waiting threads could be left behind when large documents were converted but the structures were not read until the end. This is now fixed, provided the client calls MolImporter.close().

    • Document to structure was not processing text from PDFs with non-standard fonts, for instance English text encoded in Japanese fonts.

    • Certain images in PDFs were not processed correctly by OSRA during optional image-to-structure conversion.

    • Names found in documents may have included unwanted trailing characters when the next word started with an open bracket, for instance, "cholesterol [28]" instead of "cholesterol".
