I will tentatively set 1 April 2026 as a target release date for 2.0.0 final.
I had a brief chat with @matterhorn103 today - many of the pieces of the new plugin framework are in place and we’ve fixed up a bunch of bugs. I’m sure we’ll squash more in the next few weeks. At the moment, we’re up to something like 12 plugins with more to come before the release:
- Testing & Bug Fixes
- Many relate to the space group / unit cell “filling” discussion before 1.103. I’ll post separately about that
- Documentation Updates
- Particularly to the plugins, although there are plenty of examples people can use now
- Panels / menu outlines
- Migrating two.avogadro.cc ⇒ avogadro.cc
- Providing redirection
- Leaving one.avogadro.cc as an archive
- Creating maintenance actions
- Updating plugin list (daily)
- Updating download / citation counts (weekly)
- Updating contributor list (weekly)
- Updating release information (e.g. size of binaries)
- Any other key parts
- Update note for Avogadro 1.2 users (version.txt)
