Release Date: Oct 10, 2016

• new export file format: MAE (Maestro Structure File)
• SDF export with properties
• HETATM classification for MAE import
• Atom right click > edit label
• Atom right click > inspect properties: Lists all properties and settings for an atom (wizard atomprops)
• MacPyMOL space navigator: only receive events if MacPyMOL has focus
• display_scale_factor: Internal GUI scaling for 4K and Retina displays
• PDB header gets stored as pdb_header object property if load_object_props_default=*
• morphing with ligand: minor improvements (fixing of nonbonded during refinement, better ligand detection with method=align)

• experimental MMTF load support
• map export in CCP4 format
• SDF V3000 import/export support
• PLY geometry import (as CGO)
• new command: unset_deep clears all settings on an object
• new setting: cartoon_all_alt shows cartoon for all alternative conformations
• setting stick_h_scale: new default 1.0 and not depending on negative stick_radius anymore
• bymol selection operator: ignore zero-order bonds
• color menu: isomesh/isosurface negative color
• improve alignment of residues with unknown resn (e.g. ligands): give a match score of 5 to perfect matches of unknown residue codes. Previously, those got match score -1.
• use “label_digits” setting with “label” command (e.g. label all, b)
• do not resize window when loading a session file
• fix ignored SCALE w/ identity rotation (e.g. 1WAP)
• new setting: pick_shading: do flat shading for programmable image color analysis
• experimental cmd.raw_image_callback: post cmd.draw() callback
• refactored: faster export of cif/sdf/mol2
• Removed obsolete and broken PMO file support
• pse_export_version scenes support for versions before 1.7.6

• Windows msi installer: added missing VC100 redistributable for APBS binary
• added missing umsgpack.py module for MMTF import

• fix two-colored ribbon segments (1.8.2 regression)
• prevent “import cmd”, only allow “from pymol import cmd”
• MacPyMOL with bundled Python: fix numpy linking

• fix line shader for MacOS Sierra
• new download URL for fetching maps from EDS
• new download URL for chemical component files
• fix parsing of MAE files with sub-blocks in tables

• MAE loading “s_m_ribbon_color_rgb” support
