Name to Structure 15.05.04
Improvements
-
Several improvements increase the conversion of systematic names.
-
Names with small typographical errors, such as added spaces or missing dashes, are better supported. This especially improves the extraction of names from lower quality sources, such as patent texts generated by OCR.
Bug fixes
-
Esters of nitric acid were imported with a radical instead of the C-O bond.
Name to Structure 15.04.20
Improvements
-
Some additional OCR error correction is performed in Chinese.
Name to Structure 15.04.06
Bug fixes
-
Some lists of names improperly separated lead to extremely long processing time.
-
β-alanine wrongly had a chiral stereocenter.
Name to Structure 15.03.02
Improvements
-
The file size of the naming component has been reduced by 10%, leading to reduced startup time in the applet.
Name to Structure 15.02.16
Bug fixes
-
Japanese names with fullwidth full stop characters were not supported.
Name to Structure 15.02.09
Bug fixes
-
Some E/Z and R/S stereodescriptors were not honored correctly.
Name to Structure 15.01.19
Improvements
-
Some more rarer acids are now supported, including those based on an Antimony atom.
Bug fixes
-
Names containing the "sulfonato" prefix were converted incorrectly.
Name to Structure 15.01.05
Bug fixes
-
Japanese names containing the '=' separator character (for instance in esters) were not supported.
Name to Structure 14.12.08
Improvements
-
Support was added for acetimidamides and the imidamido suffix.
Name to Structure 14.10.27
Improvements
-
Failures from a custom naming webservice are now reported as an exception, to make it easier to solve misconfiguration of the service.
Name to Structure 14.10.20
Improvements
-
Conversion of systematic names is improved by supporting more functional groups.
Name to Structure 14.10.13
Improvements
-
Added support for the olato suffix in inorganic nomenclature.
Name to Structure 14.09.29
Improvements
-
Parent homology groups such as alkyl or hydroxyalkyl are now generated with an attachment point.
Name to Structure 14.09.15
Improvements
-
Custom name to structure webservice and CAS number resolution now try to use the system HTTP proxies, when available.
September 8th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.09.08
New Features and Improvements
-
Naming webservice URLs can now contain a [DOMAIN] parameter that get replaced by the Windows domain name of the machine, or by the network domain name on non-Windows computers. This information can be used by the webservice, for instance for simple access control or user-based customization of the result.
Bug Fixes
-
Japanese and Chinese names with full-width curly braces were not supported.
August 18th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.8.18
New Features and Improvements
-
Corporate IDs (registry numbers) can be converted using the API and class chemaxon.naming. n2s .DatabaseNameConverter.
August 4th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.8.4
New Features and Improvements
-
Support for organo-metallic names was extended.
-
Support for CAS names was improved.
July 14th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.7.28
New Features and Improvements
-
Halonium ions are imported correctly.
-
Substituted ferrocene and analogues are now supported.
Bug Fixes
-
CAS number conversion and naming webservice calls could run for a long time or even not return if the webservice was not responsive.
July 14th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.7.14
New Features and Improvements
-
OCR error correction is improved.
-
Lowercase d- and l- stereo-descriptors are now interpreted as D- and L-, since names are sometimes (wrongly) converted to all lowercase. This is correct most of the time since the old usage of d- and l- for optical activity (dextrorotatory and levorotatory) is out of use and replaced by (+) and (-).
July 7th, 2014: Name to Structure 14.7.7
New Features and Improvements
-
Names with (r) and (s) pseudo-asymmetric stereo centers are now fully supported.
-
Chinese name to structure coverage was improved by about 3 percentage points.
-
Additional OCR error correction is performed.
Bug Fixes
-
Some names designating multiplied fused systems failed to be converted.
-
Some names referring to the locant of spiro atoms were failing to be converted to structure or were missing stereochemistry on those atoms.
-
Some partially saturated polyacenes and polyaphenes were not supported.
-
Some Chinese and Japanese chemical names with punctuation characters were were not supported by the automatic format recognizer.
-
Double bonds in large rings that are part of fused systems had unknown stereochemistry. They now have cis stereochemistry.
June 4th, 2014: Name to Structure 6.3.1
Bug Fixes
-
Some substituents separated by a space from an acid parent were wrongly interpreted as esters.
-
The naming webservice was not working in the applet.
