    60 == Features Postponed to 1.5 ==
    61 We will re-evaluate these features for the 1.5 release, but we think they are likely to be included.
    62  1. Implement mmcif template web service to update templates dynamically from chimera
    63  1. Allow sending template structure and template/target sequence alignment to comparative modeling program, either local or Web. ECM
    64   * This will require discussion/clarification between Andre and Tom to align the research goals of the two groups
    65  1. 64-bit Mac Aqua build for large volume data applications. TG
    66   * We had discussed having this happen when OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) comes out.  It's supposedly slated for Q1 2009. EFP
    67  1. Higher quality lighting and transparency using OpenGL shaders. TG
    68   * Maybe discussed in conjunction with a more complete discussion about improving scenegraphs
    69  1. Color tint/fade capability (modulate instead of replacing current colors). Further investigation suggests the desired effect might be attained by making it easier to adjust transparency without otherwise changing the current coloring scheme, as is already available for surfaces (but not ribbons, atoms, objects)... but probably transparency would itself need to be improved. ECM
    70  1. 2D Labels: individual label show/hide capability so that you don't have to make separate sessions for images that are just different views of the same thing.  ECM
    71  1. MD Movie: checkbox in Per-Frame panel and/or Record Movie panel to recompute secondary structure (make it more obvious that ribbon display may need to be updated). ECM
    72  1. Read PDBPQR format and load charge and radius values as the respective attributes. ECM
    73    * Perhaps write PDBPQR format.
    74    * Perhaps read PDBQT (Autodock format) and load charge, autodockType (or something like that).
    75  1. Make it easier to get phi,psi,omega,chi torsion values from proteins.  Maybe a button on Angles/Torsions to assign the values as residue attributes?
    76    * Longer term, interactive Ramachandran plot.  ECM
    77  1. Display preset wizard. EFP
    78  1. Python 2.6 GC
    79   * wrappy changes
    80   * allows for 64-bit Windows builds (needs Microsoft Visual Studio 2008)
    81  1. Improve VRML by making nodes into Python objects and selectable geometry GC
    82  1. Bring OSMesa version to production status GC
    83   * split test suite into gui and non-gui parts
    84   * add tutorial
    85  1. Benchmark graphics options (multisampling, bgopacity) GC
    86  1. Add more types of dashed lines in POV-Ray/Renderman GC
    87  1. N-level transparency without sorting using depth-peeling GC
    88  1. Web distribution of extensions CH
