  • build tautomer and set tautomer can be applied to HIS residues
  • ND support for individual real values
  • large 64 bit integer support for integer variables
  • Grob( "cylinder", r_ra r_H )
  • arbitrary length atom labels and ball radius (`set-label-atom and set atom ball command)
  • search functionality in preference dialog.
  • restore preference command is added (allows one to set system preferences and variables to default values)
  • date type is introduced
  • new annotation style for alignments
  • Charge/protonation state prediction using pKa model
  • pKa predictions for bases and acids (`set-charge-auto command )
  • GUI parser patched and icm.gui cleaned from in-line argument declarations to allow natural command syntax (the percent symbol, like %i_out , is no long needed ) in dialog descriptions
  • option to avoid sampling His, Gln, Asn, etc. and hydrogens upon convertObject added (allows one to keep atoms as is)
  • concurrent multiple level contouring (with multiple colors) of distant density added
  • read pdb improved to recognize unusual amino acids
  • mmff treatment of two nitrogens in a fused aromatic ring improved
  • set field can be used with alignments
  • set color alignment is added
  • Header(grob)
  • make distance append behavior corrected (tool first order). Option make distance append P_atompairs .. added.
  • superimpose P_atompairs os_movable command added
  • set tether P_atompairs os_movable command added
  • Area( grob error ) returns the percentage of unclosed area (to detect surfaces that are not fully closed)
  • Volume( grob ) returns the percentage of unclosed area in r_2out
  • copyMol, moveMol and jumping molecules
  • not properly recognized chemical templates in 2D chem drawing
  • unusual amino acids are not recognized ( 2jge )
  • mmff treatment of two nitrogens in a fused aromatic ring problematic
  • adding ligand (without receptor) to the table causes icm/C5H5N> processLigandSave Error> [2191] index 1 of array out of range [1:0]
