Avogadro 1.0.2, 1.0.3 on Monday and then onto the 1.1 series

Hi,

As I already announced, Avogadro 1.0.2 was tagged, and released with a
new Windows package. Shortly after release Michael pointed out an i18n
issue. I have tracked down and fixed the bug, and plan on
tagging/releasing 1.0.3 on Monday to address this issue. I didn’t want
to confuse things by re-tagging, as the source files were already out.

If anyone spots any further regressions please let me know. I also
realized that for Windows we still have to manually copy the QM files
too, so 1.0.2 is an i18n fail. There are quite a few great fixes in
there, and so it is good to get it out there at last. So Monday will
be 1.0.3, then onto 1.1.0 beta releases. I think I have the release
process fairly streamlined now, and with the external project based
builds can easily make packages.

Windows schedules tasks are an issue I will work on for getting the
nightly Windows builds back up and running.

Well, Monday is when I was going to spin the Mac release, so that works well. I’ll just bump the versioning.

BTW, if you can make the Windows build use the Open Babel 2-3-x SVN branch, it would definitely help. Linux users, obviously will get the OB-2.3.1 libraries when they’re released soon. Mac and Windows binaries of Avogadro, OTOH, won’t generally update.

Among other fixes in the 2-3-x branch is one that Annulen pointed out. Finally, hydrogens added to sp3 atoms will have equal bond angles (e.g., methane).

Oh, before I forget, are there wiki pages for the releases? We’ll also need to bump the file for the update-checker – perhaps on Tuesday.

I already have the Windows binary using the tip of the 2.3 branch with
a couple of build fixes cherry picked from trunk. I have built a
binary with translations for Windows. The fix is already on the
Avogadro 1.0 branch, I will push the version bump shortly.

Sounds great, I knew you were careful with what you put on the 2.3
branch and so figured it would be the best one to use.

Yes, they are in the normal places,
