      "content_html": "<p>I released <a href=\"http://cdk.sf.net/\">CDK</a> 1.1.5 today. Below is the email I sent to the\n<a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=cdk-user\">cdk-user mailing list</a>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Hi all,</p>\n\n  <p>I am happy to be able to announce the first Release Candidate for CDK 1.2.</p>\n\n  <p>Everyone using using CDK 1.0 is suggest to upgrade to this release,\nwhich has fewer bugs, is much better tested, and is faster too. It\nalso comes with API changes, and a full changelog is not available\n(yet). However, the CDK developers are available on this mailing list\nand on IRC to help you port CDK 1.0 applications to CDK 1.2. Two\ndifferences in particular I would like to point out at this moment:</p>\n\n  <h4 id=\"1-explicit-atom-typing\">1. explicit atom typing</h4>\n\n  <p>CDK 1.0 did atom typing at various places to perform its function,\nleading to inconsistencies and bugs. CDK 1.2 introduces a new atom\ntyping module which isolates atom typing from other algorithms.\nConsequently, the CDK will be more critical on your code and your\ndata: where the old code might have silently eaten incorrect input,\nthe new implementation complains: expect exceptions! The actual atom\ntype list used in CDK 1.2 is more complete than the ones used in CDK\n1.0; however, it is not unlikely that you will find no atom type\nperceived for a clearly valid atom type. Please report such cases.</p>\n\n  <p>And I really want to stress this: in every instance where CDK 1.2, CDK\n1.0 would have failed too, though it might have not complained about\nit.</p>\n\n  <h4 id=\"2-no-rendering-functionality\">2. no rendering functionality</h4>\n\n  <p>The new rendered under development (see the <a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=cdk-jchempaint\">cdk-jchempaint mailing\nlist</a>)\nhas not made the CDK 1.2.0 release. However, it is expected to\nbe available in a later CDK 1.2.x release. If you really need the\ngraphics functionality, please contact me. Bioclipse2 is an example\nproject which combines CDK 1.2 with the new rendering code.</p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"contributions\">Contributions</h2>\n\n  <p>This release features contributions from a larger developer group than\never before. In particular, I would like to welcome those who have\npicked up JuniorJobs, and provided other smaller patches! A full list\nof authors is available from:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/cdk/tags/cdk-1.1.5/AUTHORS\">http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/cdk/tags/cdk-1.1.5/AUTHORS</a></p>\n\n  <p>(If you see your name missing (sorry!), please just email me)</p>\n\n  <p>If you like to contribute too, there are many ways. The JuniorJobs is\njust an example and are available from:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=20024&amp;atid=997721\">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=20024&amp;atid=997721</a></p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"download\">Download</h2>\n\n  <p>CDK 1.2 RC1 is available from SourceForge as CDK 1.1.5:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=20024&amp;package_id=57806\">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=20024&amp;package_id=57806</a></p>\n\n  <p>Alternatively, you can download the release from SVN:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/cdk/tags/cdk-1.1.5/\">http://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cdk/cdk/tags/cdk-1.1.5/</a></p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"bugs\">Bugs</h2>\n\n  <p>As said, this CDK release is the most tested CDK release ever, with\nmore than 10 thousand unit tests! However, there are open (minor)\nissues, which you can see reported at Nightly:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://pele.farmbio.uu.se/nightly-1.2.x/\">http://pele.farmbio.uu.se/nightly-1.2.x/</a></p>\n\n  <p>The number of failing unit tests is below 1%, and in the same range as\nthe number of failing tests for CDK 1.0. Importantly, these are\ntypically fails of unit tests which are not available in the CDK 1.0\nunit test suite; that is, many of the failing unit tests in CDK 1.0\nare <em>not</em> failing in CDK 1.2 (it really is rewarding to upgrade!)</p>\n\n  <p>However, if you find additional bugs (or just have wishlists), you can\nreport these with our SourceForge bug tracker at:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=20024&amp;atid=120024\">http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=20024&amp;atid=120024</a></p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"documentation\">Documentation</h2>\n\n  <p>Over the next weeks I hope to compose a somewhat useful list of\nchanges. I have not made up my mind yet how that will take shape,\nmaybe as a list of blogs, which I’ll aggregate later. Dunno yet.\nSuggestions and contributions welcome :)</p>\n\n  <p>JavaDoc for the release is not yet available on SF for download\n(working on that), but available for the cdk1.2.x / branch at:</p>\n\n  <p><a href=\"http://pele.farmbio.uu.se/nightly-1.2.x/api/\">http://pele.farmbio.uu.se/nightly-1.2.x/api/</a></p>\n\n  <p>OK, that wraps it up for now. Just reply if you have questions.</p>\n\n  <p>Egon</p>\n</blockquote>",
