ZINC History This is the history of the web interface to ZINC. The database has been updated continuously since the beginning.


Past

  • ZINC 12. Lab testing began in March 2011. Currently in alpha test. July 2011.
  • ZINC 11. April 2010. New Search interface with ChemAxon as the search engine.
  • ZINC 10. Feb. 2010. ZINC under SVN. Minor corrections.
  • ZINC 9. We skipped because it was already 2010.
  • ZINC8 was released June 18th, 2008. It was the last major release before we started using ChemAxon as the backend.
  • ZINC7 was released 1/1/2007. It was an incremental release, and looks much like ZIN C7. It will be no longer available after September 2009.
  • ZINC6 was released 1/1/2006. It was a major release in which all molecular geometries were re-created from scratch. It will be no longer available after September 2009.
  • ZINC5 was released 1/1/2005. It was a major release, and coincided with the publication of the ZINC paper. It will be no longer available after September 2009.
  • ZINC1-4 were early development releases and are no longer available.
