Jmol 12.1.48 Prerelease

Jmol 12.1.48 Prerelease is made to offer users with an exciting as well as smart open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D with features for chemicals, crystals, materials and biomolecules. Jmol is an interactive web browser applet.

Jmol is a free, open source molecule viewer for students, educators, and researchers in chemistry and biochemistry. It is cross-platform, running on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix systems. 

• The JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages.
• The Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop.
• The JmolViewer is a development tool kit that can be integrated into other Java applications.

Major Features:

1. Free, open-source software licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
2. Applet, Application, and Systems Integration Component
   • The JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages. It is ideal for development of web-based courseware and web-accessible chemical databases. The JmolApplet provides an upgrade path for users of the Chime plug-in.
   • The Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop.
   • The JmolViewer can be integrated as a component into other Java applications.
3. Multi-language
   • Translated into multiple languages: Catalan (ca), Chinese (both zh_CN and zh_TW) Czech (cs), Dutch (nl), French (fr), German (de), Hungarian (hu), Italian (it), Korean (ko), Portuguese - Brazil (pt_BR), Spanish (es), Turkish (tr), (in addition to the native American English, en-US, and British English, en-GB).
   • Automatically adopts the language of the user's operating system, if it is among the translations available. You can change to another language if desired.
   • For up-to-date details or instructions for adding your language, see the Wiki.
