Description

  • Handle Hex codes that are submitted with alpha channels by ignoring the alpha channel (#1746)
  • Only show "already registered transformer" warnings in non-production builds
  • Fix label_seq_id assignment in PDB parser to use 1-based linear indexing (#1730) if:
    • when insertion codes are present
    • SEQRES records are present
  • Viewer app
    • Add action: 'focus' support to Viewer.structureInteractivity
    • Add viewportFocusBehavior: 'secondary-zoom'
  • MolViewSpec
    • Validation treats undefined same as missing value
    • Increase default size of carbohydrate representation
    • color_from_uri and color_from_source take selector parameter
    • Add keepCameraOrientation option for loading functions
    • label_from_* and tooltip_from_* take text_format parameter
    • label_from_* take group_by_fields parameter
  • Tweak Gaussian Density smoothness default range (less artefacts)
  • Support includeParent for Gaussian Surface (disables GPU support)
  • Support floodfill before surface extraction (off, interior, exterior)
    • For Isosurface, Molecular Surface, Gaussian Surface
  • Fix to_mmCIF writing duplicate categories under certain conditions (#1738)
  • Add stable random number generator (PCG)
    • ME grayscale colors; dot offset; SSAO hemisphere vectors
    • Use blue noise for SSAO hemisphere vectors
  • Fix SSAO darkening when sampling background/offscreen pixels
  • Adding structure wireframe visuals on molecular and gaussian surfaces
  • Fix caching of __srcIndexArray__
  • Prevent self-occlusion on quaternary amine
  • Fix outline postprocessing artifacts (black bands) on membrane layers at grazing view angles in Illustrative mode (#1749)
  • Remove fence from Canvas3D.render to not interfer with requestAnimationFrame
  • Fix boundingSphere reuse in structure visuals (was triggering extra calculation)
  • Use PDB seqres record to deduce entity information
  • Add lipid components names used in amber ff
