== Proposed Chimera 1.6 Additions == === New Features === - Animation (Darren) - Scene manager - Key frame timeline manager - Stereo movies (Greg) - Upload to [http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=157640 YouTube] - Blu-ray stereo format is not nearly as important since we don't expect to distribute on BD discs - Low priority. Implement only if easy. - ~~Extension manager~~ (Eric) - Lower on priority list - chimerax provides 50% solution - Dome-viewing support (Greg) - Experimental for Windows only - Multifit (YZ) - cyclic symmetry (~80% done) - asymmetry subunit (to-do) == Improvements == - Fetch by Id (TomG) - Use a default download directory. - Improvements for Modeller interface (YZ) - loop refinement ... at very least, giving the single best conformation per loop as it doesn't require changing the output handler; multiple conformations per loop requires more complicated handling - improved output of multiple sequence alignments from Chimera to make Modeller input - added option to include water (done) - added option to include non-water ligands (done) - Improvements for SAXS interface (YZ) - added legend/Chi value for figures (already done in 1.5) - added more advanced options, e.g. background/hydration (already done in 1.5) (Eric) If extension manager lowered/suspended, then... (bolded == "feature-able") - High chance - '''Nucleic-acid building''' - Metal geometry altloc/session support - Medium chance - '''selection restriction for !MatchMaker''' - progress on Profile Grids - '''grouping support in the Model Panel''' - trigger for user-initiated model close - Low chance - '''browsable session thumbnails/descriptions''' - focus on partial surface - Oar+ idatm type - rework MD RMSD dialog to use matplotlib - 2D arrow outlines - '''!UniProt markups via blast of sequence''' - '''easier access to descriptive chain info''' - MAV: non-structure residue number reporting - '''MAV: add seq from !UniProt ID (+ markups)''' - CASTp session support (done)
