InChI 1.07 available on GitHub
Abstract
The latest InChI version 1.07 has been approved by IUPAC and the InChI Trust—a transformational step in our development to support the standard. Now on Github, with a standard MIT license—fully tested for back-compatibility, many bugfixes, and a foundation for future extension and maintenance.
IUPAC InChI moves to GitHub to support sustainable chemical standards development
The InChI is a widely used standard chemical identifier that enables the connection and interoperability of chemistry data across the web. The core code and development framework of the InChI has now been migrated to GitHub, providing a foundation to support future extensions of the standard and associated applications, and to broaden the expertise supporting the standard. The first milestone of this work is the 1.07 version, recently approved by IUPAC and the InChI Trust and available for download at GitHub (https://github.com/IUPAC-InChI/InChI/releases).
The new version can be tested with a web demo version (https://iupac-inchi.github.io/InChI-Web-Demo/) which allows users to draw a chemical structure and calculate the InChI; this works in the browser, so no data is shared with external servers.
Extensions to the standard are being defined, as well as applications to mixtures and reactions amongst others. For further details and more information about InChI see www.inchi-trust.org. To stay in touch with future InChI news and releases, do subscribe to the InChI newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/inchi-trust/inchi-news-and-updates.
