Previous Versions (before 1.1.11)

Indigo 1.1.10

19 April 2013

This release has two major additions:

  1. We started to support Mono and provide a .NET version that runs on Linux and Mac OS X. This was done with help of developers from Royal Society of Chemistry (http://www.rsc.org) who also helped us to localize and fix several stability issues in our .NET version.

  2. Indigo now understand aromatic rings with external double bonds such as O=C1C=CC=CC=C1. To enable this mode you have to set “aromaticity-model” option to “generic” (while default version is “basic”).

All changes:

  • Mono support: now we provide .NET modules for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and a universal bundle that works on all the specified platforms. Thanks to Dimitry Ivanov for various suggestions: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-dev/ObLkSecXrOw/g2RGOojqjosJ

  • Indigo Renderer automatically selects output format based on the file extension. It is not necessary to specify “render-output-format” option if you are rendering into a file.

  • Original hydrogens are not folded during molecule transformations. Thanks to Ken for the bug report: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-bugs/359gCN9OrMg/fKoMt5kS9XcJ

  • Either cis/trans bond marked is preserved during molfile loading even if substitutes are collinear.
    Again thanks to Ken for the suggestion: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-bugs/oszcYWrwctI/3t2XuonNAaYJ

  • Indigo Renderer now has additional options for partial image size specification. These options are: “render-image-width”, “render-image-height”, “render-image-max-width”, “render-image-max-height”

  • Fixed an issue in the SMILES loader module that set invalid number of implicit hydrogens:
    https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-bugs/i7g3hoSXxhI/XaXsEOVJ8_cJ

  • Generic aromaticity model that can be enabled by “aromaticity-model” option. Thanks to Daniel for pushing us to implement this functionality.

  • Another aromaticity option for find any kekulize configuration if Indigo cannot dearomatize a structure. For example Indigo cannot dearomatize the structure c1ccc2c(ccc2)cc1, because there are no bonds configuration such that the structure is aromatic. But you can try to find approximate kekulize configuration if you specify option “dearomatize-verification” to “false”.

  • Indigo now uses dearomatization module to find number of hydrogens in aromatic rings in the IndigoObject.canonicalSmiles() method. If hydrogens configuration is ambiguous then Indigo throws an exception about this.

  • Additional “unique-dearomatization” option. If this option is set to true Indigo will throw an exception of dearomatization configuration is ambiguous (that means that canonical SMILES cannot be generated):

  • IndigoInchi.loadMolecule can now load molecules from InChI Aux infromation.
    Thanks to Nico: http://tech.knime.org/forum/indigo/inchi-conversion-into-2d-structure#comment-28514

  • Indigo Renderer doesn’t have a dependency on the new GLIBC any more. This dependency prevented loading of Indigo Renderer on CentOS 5.9 and less.

  • Minor changes in Java and C# bindings: expandAbbreviations method has been add, typo in countDataSGroups has been fixed

  • New method to get stereocenter pyramid.
    Thanks to Daniel for the feature request:

Indigo 1.1.9

25 March 2013

New features:

  • Single atoms are encoded into Indigo fingerprint. In the previous versions we enumerated subgraphs starting from 2 atoms.

  • new method IndigoObject.resetSymmetricStereocenters to clear stereocenters that are not real stereocenters like in CC[C@@H](CN)CC

Changes:

  • Implicit hydrogens are rendered better if they are on the bottom of an aromatic ring

  • Missing dependency file msvcp100.dll is loaded automatically.

  • Smiles saver doesn’t throw exception about implicit hydrogens if they are not saving in SMILES

Indigo 1.1.8

10 March 2013

New features:

  • For superatoms IndigoObject.name() returns superatom label

  • Single record in SDF file is limited to 100Mb to prevent accident out-of-memory exceptions when loading non-SDF files.

  • Indigo compact molecule and reaction format is compatible with previous versions. KNIME workflows that are using Indigo nodes will work fine with previously saved workflows.

  • Indigo.loadMolecule reads molecule properties from SDF file too.
    Karen Karapetyan: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-general/-2aYCKW8nSs/xteR7sFtsKIJ

Fixed:

  • File handlers leak in indigo.iterateSDFile method in case of empty file

Indigo 1.1.7

24 December 2012

New features:

  • stack usage has been significantly reduced. Almost all the test works find under 256Kb stack limit, meaning that everything should work in .NET and Java environment without any additional settings. Problem appeared in using Indigo in WCF service in IIS.

  • initial implementation of indigoNormalize method in Indigo API. It removed hydrogens and neutralize [N+][O-] into N=O. Other transformation are coming soon and suggestions are welcome.

  • new similarity methods normalized-edit to return an approximate measure of changes that needs to be applied to convert one molecule into another. Used in Imago testing framework to measure recognition quality based on reference files.

  • reaction catalysts serialization

  • layout method flips a molecule to ensure that that first atom is right to the last one:
    https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indigo-general/EBOc2BT1_N0/Gl-2ZpVmUQcJ

  • query molfile saver outputs a number of implicit hydrogens

Fixed:

  • another issue with molecule R-groups layout

  • issue with saving a molfile with R-site with index 32 causing high memory consumption. Additional internal check has been added to prohibit unexpectedly large memory allocations (that usually means bug)

  • regression in the R-group label method for an R-site without any number

  • bug in the highlightedTarget method if a molecule has been changed before

  • SVG multithreaded rending has been disabled due to the potential issue with Cairo libraries. Need to update Cairo libraries to check if problem still appear.

    Thanks to Daniel: http://groups.google.com/group/indigo-bugs/browse_thread/thread/1cc5b9dffd740240

  • clearStereocenters() method now resets bond directions. After calling this method molecule is saved into Molfile format without tetrahedral bond directions.

  • Exception during saving Molfile with pseudoatoms within aromatic rings

  • Exception when loading a molecule from Molfile with 3D coordinates with invalid valences during automatic stereocenters detection.

  • Some other issues.

Indigo 1.1-beta10

29 March 2012

Changes:

  • IndigoObject is Java now have dispose() method to dispose Indigo object before garbage collection.

  • Molfile atom lists now support pseudoatoms

  • Global timeout for all the most time consuming operations: substructure search, canonical smiles generation and etc. Option is called “timeout” and corresponds to milliseconds.

  • explicit hydrogen near Nitrogen is handled correctly to calculate cis-trans and tetrahedral stereo configuration.

  • InChI plugin now have “version” methods to return an actual InChI implementation version

  • Arial font is used on Linux systems to render molecules. Previously this font was used only on Windows and Mac OS X, and rendered images on Windows and Linux were different.

  • “deco-ignore-errors” option was added. Now there are no exceptions like ‘no embeddings obtained’ during the RGroup Decomposition if the flag set true. Exception is raised only for the end getters (e.g. decomposedMoleculeWithRGroups())

  • “deco-save-ap-bond-orders” option was added. Within the option output molecule RGroup attachment points are saved as pseudo atoms (named ‘AP1’, ‘AP2’ etc). Therefore, the option allows to save initial bond orders.
    Thanks to Mederich: http://groups.google.com/group/indigo-general/browse_thread/thread/c4bca8b97ca54a87
  • bug with the time hang was fixed for AAM.
    Thanks to Daniel: http://groups.google.com/group/indigo-bugs/browse_thread/thread/1cc5b9dffd740240

  • minor bug fixes in AAM

  • minor bug fixes in RGroup Decomposition

Fixed:

Indigo 1.1-beta9

25 February 2012

Changes:

  • if a molecule contains only R-group #2 then empty R-rgroup #1 is not rendered any more.

  • molecules with bad valences and charges can be serialized now

  • timeout option was added for AAM. A new option was added named “aam-timeout”. The integer parameter (time in milliseconds) corresponds for the AAM algorithm working time. The automap method returns a current state solution for a reaction when time is over.
    Thanks to Daniel: http://groups.google.com/group/indigo-dev/browse_thread/thread/4430412b9864f3fd

  • default layout call was added for the deconvolultion scaffold getter (decomposedMoleculeScaffold())

Fixed:

Indigo 1.1-beta8

29 January 2012

We have released our first version of InChI plugin that allows to load InChI strings and generate InChI and InChIKey for molecules (this version discards stereoinformation, but we are working on it). The plugin is statically linked with the official InChI library and can be loaded on demand, as it is done with IndigoRenderer plugin.

Usage example :

IndigoInchi inchi = new IndigoInchi(indigo);
IndigoObject molecule = indigo.loadMolecule("InChI=1S/C3H9NO/c1-3(5)2-4/h3,5H,2,4H2,1H3");
String inchi_string = indigo.getInchi(molecule);

New methods and functionality:

  • InChI support! (without stereochemistry yet)

  • mapMolecule(queryReactoinMolecule) to retrieve mapped molecule for the query reaction for the reaction substructure match object

  • getMolecule(index) to get the reaction molecule

  • QueryMolecules can now be constructed with the following methods:

    1. addAtom, resetAtom methods for the QueryMolecule now parses arbitrary SMARTS

    2. addBond method for QueryMolecule

    3. atom.addConstraintOr method has been added

    4. a lot of query atom constraints: atomic-number, charge, isotope, radical, valence, connectivity, total-bond-order, hygrogens, substituents, ring, smallest-ring, ring-bonds, rsite-mask

Fixed:

Indigo 1.1-beta7

29 December 2011
