ZINC History

This is the history of the web interface to ZINC. The database itself - i.e. the collection of molecules - is continuously updated. For citation, we recommend giving the name of the subset, the date it was generated, and the date it was downloaded. For instance: ZINC lead-like, 3.7M molecules, generated on Dec 1, 2011 and downloaded on Dec 15, 2011.

Current

  • ZINC 12. Beta release Dec 1, 2011. Production Release Jan 1, 2012.

Past

  • ZINC 11. April 2010. New Search interface with ChemAxon JChemBase/MySQL as the search engine.
  • ZINC 10. Feb. 2010. Internal release. Moved to SVN. Minor restructuring.
  • ZINC 9. Internal use only. Not publicly released.
  • ZINC 8. June 18th, 2008. Last major release before we started using ChemAxon as the backend.
  • ZINC 7. Jan 1, 2007. Incremental release, and looks much like ZINC 6.
  • ZINC 6. Jan 1, 2006. Major release. All molecular geometries were re-created from scratch.
  • ZINC 5. Jan 1, 2005. Major release. Coincided with the publication of the ZINC paper.
  • ZINC 1-4. Early internal development versions prior to publication.

Future

  • ZINC 13. Work began in January 2012. Beta version expected fall of 2012. If we are successful, it will be a major release with many new features.
