6-May-13 More secure 3D display in the Database of Zeolite Structures
  Christian Baerlocher has implemented a new version of the software for displaying animated framework drawings in the Database of Zeolite Structures. It is based on JSmol, which is an HTML5-only verson of Jmol, and no longer requires that Java (a security risk) be installed on your computer. Furthermore, the animated drawings will now work on mobile devices that support javascript (e.g. iPad, iPhone, Android devices). All of the features of the previous version are still available, but the performance, especially for the surface calculations, is slower. The previous version is still available for users who require the faster performance (just click on the button "use JAVA").

14-Dec-11 New feature in the Database of Zeolite Structures
    To provide more quantitative information about the size of the channel systems for the different framework types, the diameters of the largest spheres that

(2) can diffuse along a, b and c
are now given as part of the framework type description. Details of how these calculations are performed can be found in
