Changelog

Added customizable atom and bond visual styles.

Added support for dative (coordinate) bonds.

Bond list now supports filtering by bond type.

Bond angle measurements can now be copied to the clipboard for easy export.

Bond Valence Sum (BVS) calculations with user-defined reference parameters.

New settings dialog with a “Default View” configuration option.

New dialog for adding atom vectors.

Automatic calculation of estimated standard uncertainties (ESD) for unit cell volume.

Support for reading estimated standard deviations (e.s.d.) of cell parameters from CIF, SHELX, and DSF files.

Windows: Structure files can now be associated with shapeXT for seamless integration.

Dark mode is now the default UI theme.

Updated and reorganized example structure files.

Enhanced SSAO (ambient occlusion) rendering for smoother molecular surface shading.

Improved built-in updater.

Removed visual transitions during image sequence rendering for more accurate frame-by-frame output.

macOS builds are now code-signed and notarized.

Refined layout and usability of the Hierarchy and Navigator panels.

Graphics initialization now properly synchronizes with the main window to prevent startup crashes.

Bond angle list now updates in real time when structures change.

Fixed preview rendering to no longer display unwanted object outlines.

Resolved SSAO rendering artifacts (bright halos and incorrect dark shading).

Fixed loading of PNG files containing embedded molecular/crystal data.

Improved handling of non-periodic (finite) structures in COSMOS (.coo) files.

Fixed on-screen label rendering caused by depth buffer inversion.
