Release 1.1
18 months after the release of Coot 1 it's time for Coot 1.1
Coot 1.1 is a major change beyond Coot 1. It has required a lot of
writing and rewriting and has been the focus of my work since last year.
Technically (but briefly) we have rewritten the GUI again so that it is
now is based on GTK4 (Coot 1 used GTK3). This has meant a lot of rewiring
under the hood so that things behave similar to before [1].
Many things, that is. Not all things. There are a few important
differences - they are for the better (although you may not initially
think so).
o View rotation is on right-mouse (except on Mac).
o Functions are activate in "Select First" mode (that means bringing
the atom/residue/chain of interest to the centre of the screen)
and then choosing the function. This is more consistent with the
use of hot-key/key-bindings.
o Widget "focus" is different in GTK4 - I don't yet fully understand it
at the moment, so, in case Coot "forgets" to revert focus back to the
main graphics widget, there is a "Grab Focus" button in the horizontal
toolbar.
o Many of the menu items have been moved around. Now they are far more
likely to be where they will finally end up.
o "Modelling" (as we like to label it in the UK) has its own top-level.
o "Modules" is now also on the top-level instead of being in the
"Calculate" menu.
Not everything made it:
o "Symmetry by Molecule" has been removed (for the moment).
o RCrane and the glycan builder have yet to be brought back to working
order.
o FLEV, QED breakouts and Chemical Feature Clusters are still missing.
o The PISA interface is missing.
I am grateful for the contributions from Jakub Smulski for help with
this over the last year and to Global Phasing for the funding. Martin
Noble has written the ribbon and surface representation code.
At the moment, the terminal output is a bit verbose with debugging output.
That will be reduced or removed in due course.
Although I've not tried it, I hope/expect that this Coot will run very
sweetly on a M2 Pro MacBook Pro... "M2 good, M3 better" - I suppose?
Binaries:
Binaries have always been issue with Coot. The problem is that a
project of the scale of Coot needs (at least) 3 people [2],
o one for the scientific developments/new algorithms and publications
o one for the development of the GUI (and graphics in the case of Coot)
o one for the deployment of binaries - it takes time to produce binaries
for numerous versions of numerous operating systems and the many
changing/improving dependencies (to me this feels like a constantly
changing, never complete jigsaw puzzle)
And, although I recognise its importance, I just keep dropping the ball
for the third one (is has little intrinsic pleasure for me and is
completely invisible career-wise).
Coot on "Linux":
There is a build-script, build-coot-3-3 that works for me, soup to
nuts on a modern Ubuntu system. Not so much on Fedora though. I will
try to help if you try this method and things go wrong. Python and
its add-ons are exquisitely tricky to build and is not well documented,
however [3].
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pemsley/coot/main/build-it-3-3
Coot on macOS:
Some Mac users might like to consider using Homebrew. At some stage
I hope that
$ brew install coot
will (just) work. But that will involve input from by Yoshitaka
Moriwaki who is looking after Coot in Homebrew (that might take a
month or two). Right now, Mac-using homebrew-using Coot
enthusiasts can follow issue 33 on github:
https://github.com/pemsley/coot/issues/33
Coot on "Windows":
Bernhard Lohkamp is the font of all wisdom when it comes to
WinCoot. He will let us know his schedule. (Within a month though,
that is my understanding.)

In the coming weeks CCP4 will review Coot 1.1 and decide if it is
acceptable to be added to the suite. If approved, that is the path
of least effort for me and many users.
What about 0.9.x?
I will maintain the back-end/libraries until April 2024, then I will
reassess. It's just too much trouble to change the GUI though.
Future:
With such a massive change set [4], there are bound to be bugs, so I imagine
a flurry of patch releases in the forthcoming weeks.
With this bad boy [5] out the door and with Lucrezia Catapano coming
back on-line I can spend more time on Moorhen [6] and the Blender
interface - hooray!
If you've got this far and can get this Coot to run, I have added an Easter
Egg for today (I'll tell you what it is: coot.halloween()).
[1] To give you an idea of the scope of this work (and the speed at which the
interface for Coot was implemented) look how long it takes to rewrite a
GUI:

[2] According to a Basic COCOMO model I found, a project of this size is the
output that can be expected from a team of 300 working for 56 months (make
of that what you will)

Coot 1
18 years after the release of Coot 0 it's time that I actually released Coot 1.
Coot 1 is a major change beyond Coot 0. It has required a lot of writing and rewriting [1]
and has been the preponderance of my work since 2017. I have had to learn how to program
graphics from scratch using the new style. Much of the GUI internals has been
rewritten [2].
My experience with 0.9 was that I sat on it, bug-fixing for a long time, releasing it
too late. I don't want to repeat that mistake. So here we are, there's a lot of good new
stuff in Coot 1, but it's not as slick as it might be (or will become).
o Update graphics to use OpenGL 3.3
o Update Python to use version 3.9
o Update GTK+ to use version 3
While many of the features that were available in 0.9.x have been reworked or
reimplemented, there are some gaps. Dropped features include Cross-hairs, Stereo, Pisa
interface, built-in key-bindings, NCS Ghosts, Edit Phi/Psi, antialiasing, Kleywegt
plots, the clipping dialog, Chemical Feature Clustering, Dynamically-Transformed/NCS
Maps, LSQ plane distances, dynamic distances, CABLAM-markup, the test suite,
user-defined colour schemes, anisotropic atoms, CURLEW, Scheme GUI scripting,
Skeletonization and Baton-Building.
"So, is there anything that _does_ work?" - you might ask...
The GUI has been updated, I have tried to cut down on the number of dialogs, the Real
Space Refinement in particular has seen quite a lot of work. The GUI now uses dark mode
if the theme is installed [3]. Several menu items have been relocated. More menus are now
alphabetically ordered [4].
The graphics is, by default, now based on triangles instead of lines which affords a
more pleasing representation (density maps can be represented using both modes) and one
can have a more expeditious if not pleasant experience with a fast graphics card and a
big screen. The various graphics effects and filters can be tailored to some extent by
changing the configuration using the GUI or by editing/replacing the shaders.
Full-screen mode is now an option [5].
Overall, the GUI has only had light testing. At the moment, it's probably best to
avoid closing dialogs using the window manager. The "OK" button now appears after the
"Cancel" button in dialogs.
Python scripting now has uses a history from previous sessions and the functions need
to be used with namespaces/modules (e.g. "coot", or "coot_utils"). Coot (or coot) is
now a module that can be imported into python.
This build compiles with the RDKit and optionally MoleculestoTriangles from Martin Noble.
The map and the model can now be exported to glTF files (for use in Blender and other
3D modelling software).
The build script for Coot 1, called build-it-3-3 can be found in the "Build from Scratch"
menu on the web page (you will need to have already installed cmake and Gtk+). The catch
though is that (at least in my hands) Python and friends are frustratingly difficult to
install, so it's possible/likely that the build script won't work. Likewise,
the script doesn't work for Mac OS either. But it is currently the best method to get
binaries so I will support it if you try it [6]. (Homebrew might be another method.)
Bernhard Lohkamp has been working on the WinCoot version - I will defer WinCoot
questions to him.
Mac Coot is now native (no X11/XQuartz needed). I would be interested to see how a
natively-compiled [7] version works on a M1 Max processor [8,9].
Judging from previous experience, a few rapid iterations of bug-fix releases will be
needed. After this, the version numbers will become sane - it's my plan to release a new
major version every year or so.
[1] new as in OpenGL 3.3 or later - using shaders - I don't mean Vulkan (that's for the
future)
[2] the patch from the 0.9.x version is 285k lines
[3] I recommend it
[4] rather than chronologically
[5] double-tap Esc key (the first time) to revert to standard display
[6] I have be working with CCP4 collaborators to use their system to build Coot binaries.
Hopefully the binaries will be available stand-alone, as well as integrated into
the CCP4 Suite via that method
[7] so that's a different meaning of "native"
[8] the little testing I have done on a recent intel MacBook Pro shows unimpressive
performance (Iris graphics, retina display)
[9] Thanks to my Mac-using colleagues for their feedback.

Release 0.9
This release has been a long-term effort (4 years according to my notes). It is powerful but not as
clean and stable as I would have liked, but I don't want to delay any longer. Many of the additions

o REQUIREMENT: C+11 required for compilation
o REQUIREMENT: Boost required for compilation
o FEATURE: Automatic addition of alpha helix, nucleic acid stacking and pairing restraints and
metal coordination bond restraints
o FEATURE: Standard molecular representation now has "atoms" (not just bonds).
Waters are balls, not crosses
o FEATURE: interactive representation of Ramachandran and rotamer probabilities during refinement
Add set_show_intermediate_atoms_rota_markup()
