CDK Release 1.5.9

CDK 1.5.9 has been released and is available from sourceforge (download here) and the EBI maven repo (XML 1).

This is the first release to be built using Java 7 and will require the Java SE Runtime 7 to execute. The previous release (1.5.8) will be the last to work with Java SE 6.

The full release notes (1.5.9-Release-Notes) summarise and detail the changes. One of the new features is the recognition of perspective projection stereochemistry.
