Well, not all of them, we still keep the OSX binaries, but bundles for various Linux distributions are discontinued. Other changes may be seen in the conop module (link to docu), there have been quite some speed ups and of course, bug fixes.

New Homepage

published June 9, 2010, 3:09 a.m.

OpenStructure has a new website with a completely new design, updated documentation and other goodies.

During the past two weeks we have been working to update the OpenStructure website. The site comes in a shiny new dress and is less scary than the previous version.

The website also includes new documentation written with the sphinx documentation generator. Rather than documenting functions at the C++ level, we focus our attention to Python, trying to make it easier for people with little or no knowledge of C++ to understand the OpenStructure framework. Please be aware that this is work in progress and far from complete. So if you would like to have some functionality documented, just drop us a note.

This is the place...

... where you get news on OpenStructure and related projects.
