Greetings PyMOLers, I got back from my trip last night and immediately started putting the new features into the open source branch as promised. I've finished the merge, pushed the changes to SourceForge (revision 3938), and uploaded a tar file (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/files/pymol/1.4/). I'm calling this v1.4b1 (beta one) on the SourceForge site.
We will collect bug reports from you, the community, and then release the stable v1.4 official code once the serious bugs are fixed. Additionally, in order to improve communication and openness, I've re-enabled the SourceForge bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4546&atid=104546). If someone would like to act as a good steward and help manage the tracker, please let me know. This will help us stay on top of the open-source bugs. For those adventurous enough to try the new code please give it a shot. If you're not familiar with building PyMOL, please wait for the stable v1.4 release. For those wishing to try the new beta release these following notes might help: (1) If you're building from source, please install * glew * glew-devel as they're new dependencies. I'm using glew 1.5.8 on OpenSuSE 11.3. (2) This update requires your hardware to support OpenGL 2.0+. There are known problems running this from within a VM. I think Parallels does handle openGL 2.0+, but VMWare does not yet support it. (3) Please update your video card drivers. My build just failed to compile shaders (at run time) because I had the wrong drivers installed! (4) Volumes don't yet ray trace, but they will soon. For a nice image, "set use_shaders" and also try, Display > Quality > Maximum Quality before using the png command to save the image. (5) cealign is properly integrated and memory leaks and crashing should be fixed. (6) I only made changes to the Linux portion of the setup.sh file. If you're daring enough on Mac/Fink feel free to try get the build working there, too. (7) The 'svn diff' from the last revision is 12000+ lines long, so there's quite a few changes.
