Molby is a software for building molecular models on the graphic screen. It works on Mac OS X and Windows. It can import and export files for other computational chemistry softwares such as GAMESS and Gaussian. It can also edit molecules by Ruby scripts.
This project is moved to GitHub. Updates are only available on GitHub.

Gaff and parm99 parameters: the equilibrium bond lengths have now three significant digits after the decimal point.
Crash on antechamber/parmchk dialog (and other Ruby-based dialogs as well) is fixed.
Ruby: New methods: AtomRef#exclusion, Molecule#resize_to_fit, Molecule#bond_par/angle_par/dihedral_par/improper_par/vdw_par, $stdin.gets, $stdin.readline. Improved: Molecule#each_atom, Molecule#duplicate, Molecule#open, Kernel#message_box, Dialog#item.
MM/MD: minimization gets improved stability; the "solvate" command now sets the segment name 'SOLV' for the solvent atoms.
New menu commands: "Create New Atom", "Create New Parameter", "Create SANDER Input", "Import AMBER Lib", "Import AMBER Frcmod".
New file formats: cif (import), AMBER mdcrd (import).
Tables: cut/copy/paste in parameter table is improved. Mac: table did not get focus under certain conditions; fixed.
Gaff, parm99 パラメータ: 結合長を小数点以下3桁まで有効にした。
Antechamber/parmchk ダイアログ(および Ruby で書かれたその他のダイアログ)のクラッシュを修正。
Ruby: 新しいメソッド: AtomRef#exclusion, Molecule#resize_to_fit, Molecule#bond_par/angle_par/dihedral_par/improper_par/vdw_par, $stdin.gets, $stdin.readline. 改良したメソッド: Molecule#each_atom, Molecule#duplicate, Molecule#open, Kernel#message_box, Dialog#item.
分子力学: 構造最適化計算の安定性が向上。"Solvate" コマンドで溶媒分子に "SOLV" セグメント名が付与されるようになった。
新しいメニューコマンド:"Create New Atom", "Create New Parameter", "Create SANDER Input", "Import AMBER Lib", "Import AMBER Frcmod".
新しいファイルフォーマット: cif(読み込み), AMBER mdcrd(読み込み)。
属性テーブルでのカット/コピー/ペーストの安定性が向上。
Mac: 属性テーブルがときどきフォーカスされない問題を解決。
Parameter cut was not working correctly when the selection was non-contiguous; fixed. Mac: property table did not get focus under certain conditions; fixed. Document: the English version had the page titles in Japanese; fixed. Navigation prev/next has been added on top of each page.
Step 5 of the tutorial is complete.
