A more recent list of changes is compiled in SorceForge project pages, and listed and linked from the Jmol website: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/history/ (see 'History of Changes' section there).

New in version 10.2

  • Easier zoom, perspectiveDepth on or off switching
  • 'hbonds on' does not calculate hbonds anymore. Instead, use 'hbonds calculate'. This enables the separation of hbonds data present in the pdb file (e.g. calculated by a separate algorithm) and hbond information as calculated by the jmol hbond algorithm.
  • extended label formatting options, printing three-letter, one-letter amino acid codes possible, also including all available atom information (e.g. coordinates) in the label.
  • the pop-up menu when right-clicking the applet can be disabled with 'set disablePopupMenu TRUE'. The pop-up menu itteself also can be tweaked.
  • An advanced selection option based on connectivity is introduced: select connected It can for example select based on the amount of connections an atom has, or to which atom it is connected.
  • Default atomype coloring within a running applet can be changed by e.g. 'color hydrogen yellow'. Coloring of specific selections overrides the default coloring, as before.
  • Complete control of drawing bonds between (selected) atoms is now possible with the 'connect' command. Drawing of h-bond, double, triple, aromatic bonds is possible.
  • orbitals and electron density and other information can now be drawn as isosurface or pmesh.
  • advanced polyhedra bonds are introduced.
  • The stars command creates better visibility of selected atoms.
