||
We are very proud to announce the availability of Avogadro 1.95.0, the latest Beta | ||
for Avogadro 2.0. | ||
|
||
More can be found on the [1.94 release page](https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/releases/tag/1.94.0) including downloads for Mac and Windows. | ||
|
||
As part of the release, we've made it easier to download scripts and data, | ||
including new input generators, molecule fragments, and build and analysis | ||
commands. These scripts make it much easier to integrate Avogadro with many | ||
open source chemistry Python tools, including RDKit, ASE, etc. | ||
|
||
Draft developer documentation can be found at https://two.avogadro.cc | ||
|
||
If you have comments or suggestions, please join us at https://discuss.avogadro.cc | ||
|
||
We anticipate several more releases over the summer and early fall 2021. | ||

||
We recently posted our second "community survey" to gather feedback. | ||
The survey was highlighted on Twitter and on the | ||
avogadro mailing lists. | ||
|
||
## Quick Summary (tldr) | ||
|
||
- Many users find Avogadro from a friend, peer or instructor (~45%) | ||
- By far, most download binaries (>80%) | ||
- Many use package managers (42%) | ||
- Responses were heavily from Linux (71%) and Mac (60%) users, despite most SourceForge downloads from Windows users (66%) | ||
- Heavily educated, with >90% of responses with at least a graduate degree | ||
- Many can code: >40% report Python knowledge, >10% report C/C++ knowledge | ||
- High bias towards research applications | ||
- Most responses use Avogadro frequently (~57% use at least weekly) | ||
- Many complaints about stability, crashes, and scalability to large systems | ||
- Some suggestions to add features that already exist! | ||
- Over 80% haven't contributed previously |
