Kevin,

It looks like ChemmineOB has not changed in the devel branch since the
release - still at version 1.15.0.

Herve installed OpenBabel 2.4 on the Macs a couple of months ago but it
was not compatible with the ChemmineOB version at the time. Because of
this he had to install OpenBabel 2.3. I've looked in the svn logs and
don't see any record of 'now compatible' or 'tested with' 2.4. so I'm
not sure why you think ChemmineOB would now be compatible with 2.4.

Using OpenBabel 2.4 would be good for Mac users because that's the
version you get with 'brew install openbabel'. This change, however, is
not a good thing for linux users because with 'apt-get install
libopenbable-dev' you get version 2.3 and not 2.4. Updating on windows
is a similar install from source situation.

Please explain what testing you've done to ensure the package is
compatible with OpenBabel 2.4. I'm also not sure why you want 2.4 on the
build machines if ChemmineOB is backwards compatible with 2.3. Is there
new functionality?

Valerie
