Folks, These may be infamous last words, but I do believe that the latest PyMOL v0.99 release candidate has reached a level of stability, performance, and bug containment such that most everyone should feel comfortable downloading and updating to version 0.99.
http://delsci.com/rel/099 Compared to the earlier 0.99 release candidates, PyMOL 0.99rc6 has up to twice the surface calculation performance, better memory management for large rendering jobs, and improved stability under Mac OS X. Also, we restored the one-button viewing mode for laptop use (see info below). Cheers, Warren One button viewing controls (NOTE: on PC keyboards, Option is Alt). To activate, enter "mouse one_button_viewing" or select from the Mouse menu.
