• MAE export with basic styling (color, representation, labels)
• MAE export with group hierarchy
• Nucleic acid mutagenesis wizard

• MAE export with properties

• Grouping in object menu: A > group > ...
• Secondary structure update from sequence viewer: right-click > ss > ...
• Atom right-click > object > disable others

• cmd.get_fastastr() per chain
• cmd.get_fastastr() for nucleic acids

• Anaconda 5.0.0 build environment
• Python 2.7 and 3.6 for all platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS - 64bit)

• Ported graphics shaders and related code from Incentive PyMOL:
  • improved labels: multiline support, background color, connectors (various label_* settings)
  • support for background images (bg_image_filename)
  • Order-independent transparency (transparency_mode 3)
  • fixes stick_ball setting
  • fixes “lines” crash with certain low-end graphics drivers
  • chromadepth
• Moved code repository to github

• APBS plugin: 4-digit coordinate handling (e.g. x >= 1000.0)
• SDF export: don’t write zero-order bonds
• anaglyph stereo in batch mode https://sourceforge.net/p/pymol/mailman/message/36301454/
• distance measurements between states with all_states=on

• APBS Plugin: improve support for non-globular shaped molecules by using a cube-shaped coarse grid
• scene update: preserve message
• MAE import: ignore i_pdb_PDB_serial for compatibility with Maestro’s “Send to PyMOL” surface transfer

• driver hotfix (preliminary): precomputed_lighting for Intel HD Graphics 620
• detect display HiDPI change (e.g. when unplugging mirrored display)
• macOS: Gatekeeper friendly license location fallback: “/Library/Application Support/Schrodinger/licenses”

• driver hotfix (improved): precomputed_lighting for Intel driver 24.20.100.*
• ignore BOM (unicode byte order mark) in license files
• fix pip wrapper

• fix mtz import

• backported from 2.3.0: Picking with use_shaders=off and lines/nonbonded
