More robust error-checking when loading binary files which might contain invalid atom IDs, owing to an issue with an earlier version of the software.
Improvements to the installer to enhance stability and streamline the licensing process.
Workarounds for LEAP Motion Controller support, to avoid a possible crash during installation or program shutdown.
This version represents a compatibility update to match the new CrystalMaker 9.1.4.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version includes miscellaneous bug fixes.
Atom vectors are again read correctly from a binary file.
Fixed a rare issue in which the program could crash when reading from a saved crystal binary file.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version is a minor compatibility release to match CrystalMaker 9.1.2. Changes affecting the Viewer include:-
Highlighted text (used for distance, angle, and other screen measurements) is now clearer, and easier to read.
Atom Info tips now handle mouse clicks correctly.
Clicking on horizontal or vertical bonds now correctly selects the connected atoms.
Measure and Select Bonds. The Arrow tool now lets you measure bond distances by hovering over any bond. Clicking a bond selects the two atoms on either side of the bond.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version includes minor improved atom selection haloes, plus minor bug fixes.
Atom selection "haloes" have been improved and should now be easier to distinguish, especially when working with very-small atoms.
Thermal ellipsoids are now rendered rendered with the correct alpha level, and with the appropriate line colours.
This version represents a compatibility update to match the new CrystalMaker 9.1.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version includes fixes for the display of thermal ellipsoids and a long delay before showing an Atom Info Tip.
The delay before showing an Atom Info Tip has been increased from 1 to 1.5 s.
Fixed a bug with the colouring of photo-rendered thermal ellipsoids.
Thermal ellipsoids are now correctly drawn as small spheres, when specified.
Windows XP Support. CrystalViewer now includes support back to Windows XP Service Pack 3. This includes a workaround for non-functioning file dialogs, encountered in earlier versions.
Miscellaneous Changes. This version includes miscellaneous bug fixes and other minor enhancements.
Leap Motion Activation Message. CrystalViewer now checks to see if the Leap Motion Controller is installed and displays an appropriate message at startup.
Improved Subtitles. Subtitle information displays in the Graphics pane are now smoother and clearer to read.
Expanded, Embedded Examples. CrystalViewer now includes over 120 crystal and molecular structures, embedded within the application bundle. These can be browsed via a new Examples menu, which groups the files by category, using submenus, e.g., "3D Models", "Advanced Materials", "Elements", "Minerals"... Also included is a series of teaching models which feature atomic/ionic radii, basic structure types, lattice types, and more.
Leap Motion Control. You can now rotate and scale your structure using simple hand gestures, and a Leap Motion controller.
This is a new application, designed to allow registered CrystalMaker 9 customers to share their their structures with colleagues or students. We are making this available on an experimental basis, in the hope that this will prove useful.
