Version 2.0 (August 27, 2010)

• New: Reaction Substructure Searches
  
• New: SMARTS Reaction Searches
  
• New: RSC ChemSpider query link for any compound of the reaction sketch.
  
• New: Search by experiment-ID.
• Fix: Attempts to paste an incomplete reaction sketch into an experiment are now disabled.
• Fix: A timeout now is implemented for unavailable internet time servers.
• Fix: A system error occurred when exporting an experiment not having any materials specified to PDF.
  
• Fix: Synthesis scheme consistency check now distinguishes isomers.
• Fix: Expanding an experiment tree node no scrolls the view to the last item of this node.
  

Version 1.0.1 - 1.0.3 cumulative fixes (June 21, 2010)

• Fix: [1.0.3] Optimized hardware-ID calculation for purchasing process.
• Fix: [1.0.2] After renaming a project, a synthesis or a step, the changes were not refreshed in the interface.
• Fix: [1.0.2] The event log info area was not updated when switching to an empty experiment.
  
• Fix: [1.0.1] After opening or printing an experiment the material group connectors sometimes were not displayed.
  

Version 1.0 (June 13, 2010)

• New: Installation of 3rd party tool PDFCreator tool is no more required. Experiment and attachment are exported to PDF using built-in and even faster code (no more PDF print driver required).
• New: Direct export of summary synthesis scheme to PDF.
• New: Now also runs on 64 bit version of Windows 7 (possibly also Vista 64 bit, but not tested).
• New: When in experiment zoom, a label now informs about zoom out and document pan control.
• New: Moved lock icon moved from the header area to the reaction sketch area for better visibility.
• New: Added additional backup dialog info to map network drives before selecting as backup location.
• New: The experiments database now is auto-compacted.
• New: The resolution of imported images is automatically reduced to twice the width of their current display area.
• New: Recovery Mode: Pressing SHIFT during Espresso startup checks database integrity and restores or repairs it if required
• New: Automatic periodic health checks for main and backup experiments databases.
• New: Extended help documentation.
   
• Fix: Experiment scaling: If only the scaling unit was changed, but not the amount, the original amount in grams was wrongly taken as the new amount associated to the new unit.
• Fix: After dropping a WMF or EMF file and not resizing it, the experiment could not be opened the next time.
• Fix: When several portions of reference starting material were applied, they all displayed the default 1.00 equiv instead of corresponding fractions (calculations still were ok, though).
• Fix: When the reference starting material was specified in mol or mmol, the experiment could not be saved.
• Fix: The backup experiment database could not be compacted.
• Fix: The link in the info center warning item "quota expired" was not active.
• Fix: After sorting the experiment tree items (yield, scale, name), the view scrolled to make the current experiment item visible. Now the view remains fixed after scrolling.
• Fix: Size of dropdown menu items globally increased.
• Fix: Improved zoom cursor behavior.
   

Release Candidate (April 24, 2010)

• New: Synthesis Summary now integrated into main user interface, includes overall yield.
• New: Text and icon display quality massively improved - no more fuzzy characters and icons.
• New: Automatic data backup synchronization avai lable.
• New: Settings: Resource demanding animations can be switched off for low-end systems.
• New: Info Panel introduced: Quick links, warnings, pending items, information items.
• New: Auto-selection of condition ranges and associated conditions graph.
• New: Shopping cart items now display the number of materials they summarize.
• New: Check for updates on the Web.
   
• Fix: Experiments now open much faster.
• Fix: The reaction sketch is checked for invalid or unknown elements before pasting.
• Fix: The reaction sketch is checked for consistency with synthesis scheme and compatibility with step reaction scheme before being pasted.
   

Beta Release Hotfix 1 (August 22, 2009)

• Fix: After pasting a reaction sketch in the unsupported ChemDraw format, the application crashed during the next startup. Fix: Attempted pasting in unsupported formats (currently only ISIS/Draw and Symyx Draw are supported) is canceled with an error message.
• Fix: During startup a message appeared that ISIS/Draw was not installed, even if it was installed: Fixed.
• Fix: Clicking the grayed out information label "currently no materials available" in the Shopping List area resulted in a crash.
• Fix: When only one experiment was present in the experiment tabs after application start, and its yield was changed, the new yield was not stored for the experiment tree display.
