Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the
chemnum
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: A method of numbering chemical compounds
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 1.0 of chemnum.
For this update the package has been rewritten from scratch.
There are various changes some of which will break existing
documents. (I have struggled with this decision for a while but
then chemnum /has/ been in an experimental stage before,
so...). While the new version undoubtedly has new bugs its
syntax won't change anymore. So at least from the perspective
of a user v1.0 is supposed to be stable :)
Some of the changes have already been announced here:
http://www.mychemistry.eu/2014/01/chemnum-v1-0-release-candidate/
For all changes please refer to the package manual.
