vipster

Fix python sdist package

• File support:
  • VASP-POSCAR files
  • JSON representation of Molecules/Steps
• Usability:
  • Multiple split views
  • Simplified handling of atom types
• Better Python integration:
  • (Optional) embedded Python shell
  • Support for user-provided file plugins
• Optional LAMMPS integration

Usability improvements:

• flexible handling of atom-properties (toggle columns in GUI)
• improved parameter set handling (e.g. default-PP values moved to parameter, renamed some ill-named properties)

Improved selection mechanics, now supports periodic selection.
Also published to PyPI, python bindings can now be installed via pip install vipster

Tons of minor improvements

• Improved documentation of advanced features
• fixed scriptwidget-operations for relative coordinates
• fixed/implemented k-point handling in gui
• various minor gui fixes

First beta release.

• Plugin for ORCA
• WebVR support
• Usability fixes (less crashes, more documentation)

updated CLI11, fix compilation bugs with Clang7

Transitioned to CMAKE and C++17.

Contains some convenience bugfixes

First alpha-release of C++ rewrite

Woohoo!

Should be fairly stable by now.
Have fun!

First windows-test-release.
Most probably shaders/rendering only working on nvidia-hardware.

Major rewrite:

streamlined API
moved bottleneck-functions to C
moved buildsystem from makefile to distutils

• Screenshots!
• Better rotation!
• Faster!

Improved architecture:

Load, combine and save without problems.
Edit trajectories and PW Parameters.
Acceptable Performance (abysmal load times).
