Avogadro 1.1.0 tagging

Hi,

I have tagged 1.1.0 locally (it is master as of today). I am working
through some issues on Windows, but they appear to be related to
changes in Open Babel (or more specifically the InChI library within
in) on the tip of the 2-3-x branch. For some reason it is no longer
exporting symbols, I am out of time for now but will get into this
later and hopefully have a patch for Open Babel.

I am using Open Babel 2-3-x branch, Eigen 2.0.15 and Qt 4.8.2 with
Visual Studio 2008. I have not attempted to look at Python on Windows
(yet). I am working on getting this process automated so that we can
spin out a few more releases before the end of the year (I have a few
patches I would like to add to master once the tag is final).

Thanks,

Marcus

PS The new InChI license looks different, I guess we are simply using
the GPLv2 as it looks like a new custom-written non-OSI approved
license (is it GPL compatible?). Does anyone know more about the
license, it looks like they removed the possibility of LGPLv2.1 in
favor of their license or GPLv2+.

After working through a few issues with Open Babel on Windows I have a
working build. The Windows basic build is staged, along with the
source tarballs. I will work on updates for the release notes, and
push the tag soon. The tweaks for OB were just related to the InChI
library and are small CMake tweaks to get everything building.

I think we are more than ready to release once we have the Mac
package. This is the first in the beta series to stabilize for a 1.2.0
release. I would like to get some of the pending changes on Gerrit
merged (and have a few things queued I would like to add) once we have
this release out.

Thanks,

Marcus

I can spin a Mac package tomorrow – unfortunately, due to the holiday, and some prior commitments, I can’t do that today.

Thanks Marcus for all the hard work on finalizing the release. It will be great to get it out there and show people what we’ve been working on!

That sounds great, I figured with the holidays things might be hectic.
I pushed the tag to the repository and the other files are all in
staging on SourceForge (you should be able to see them and upload the
Mac package).

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi Geoff,

Did you get chance to create some Mac binaries? I would like to get an
announcement together in the next few days. I noticed that SourceForge
unveiled the staged binaries/tarballs (only holds them for three
days), and we are seeing quite a few downloads.

For those interested in trying out the latest Avogadro that is great,
nearly 300 downloads yesterday. I am inclined to leave the files
as-is, once the Mac binary is added I would like to add a news item
and update the main page etc.

Thanks,

Marcus

Yeah, I completely forgot about it yesterday. I’m building the Mac 1.1.0 binaries now.

Feel free to go ahead with the release notes, etc. I should have a build up in a few minutes.

Ok, I’m not sure why, but everything I built yesterday would just crash randomly.

This build works great, and I’ve tested on several computers.

I think we need to send out announcements, etc.

I have updated the front page, saw that someone (you) had already
updated the get Avogadro page, I added a new item on SourceForge and
will send an announcement to this list. I can do Twitter, Google+ etc
shortly after - is there anywhere else?
