Hey everyone, we're releasing an update with the following list of features and fixes. Included are two new features that will be covered in this blog post: Auto Wiggle Power and Idealize Secondary Structure.
- General
-
Added Indonesian translation.
- Intro puzzles
-
Instructions for 'Cut and Paste' made clearer.
- Behavior
-
Auto Wiggle Power added. Auto Wiggle Power behaves like Low Power Wiggle unless there are unidealities, in which case it adds only the necessary extra computations to deal with these. Auto is the new default for Wiggle Power.
- Tools
- New tool added - Idealize SS - This tool directly sets backbone geometry to the perfect settings for whatever the secondary structure is currently marked as (works for strands/helices, does nothing for loops).
- Rebuild should be ~20% faster.
- Tweak should be more reliable.
- Mutate should stop much faster.
-
Pull should be more responsive.
- Bug Fixes
- Rebuild should no longer create stretched segments.
- Disable tooltip should no longer be reset by the mutate menu.
- Ideality issues should show up again when show backbone issues is enabled.
As always, a big thanks to our testers in the developer preview.
Could you give the release date for already released stuff and whether its main or devprev? Put another way, are you referring to the most recent release to the next release?
No build for GNU/Linux 32 bit. And no way for me to compile it either.
The 989977 thing is great. You could change "new" to the date from the buildid. When you do releases frequently "new" is "new" for about a week. Like 20140321 release.

Sorry I did not make it clear. I know that I can buy another computer, install another operating system or use wine to run any of the other builds. What I need though is a build for my system or the source so that I can build it myself.
My initial comment is that I do not like the vagueness of "new". I also do not like the vagueness of "today" and "soon". How large is the 32-bit Linux community? Is it growing? A 64-bit Linux machine has trouble with Foldit at least according to some comments in the chat rooms.
If you want to @ someone, @ beta_helix. Look at the link that beta_helix gave you. You can follow that links to other links. Put your comments there.
If you play in someone's you have to play by there rules. Foldit has priorities and 32-bit Linux does not seem to be one of them. Wait a year. 64-bit Linux machines will only get cheaper.
I do not like the text editor that Foldit gives me for creating Lua scripts. Lots of other people do not like it either. Look at comments or listen to the chat rooms. Some comments were two years old. I came the realization that it was not going to improve. I use an external editor.
If you are really unhappy, put "open source protein folding" in your search engine. There were 1,370,000 entries using Google.
