mBuild 1.0 stable release

mBuild 1.0 Announcement

mBuild has reached a relatively feature complete stage. The core functionality of building up a wide array of systems is very stable and generalizeable through custom recipes. As GMSO has continued to inherit the workload of functionality, including being the nexus of conversion to other python objects and file readers and writers, many methods of mBuild have been exported. This leaves mBuild as a more focused package on handling diverse simulation configurations. Continued development will shift towards more complicated initialization utilities, such as energy minimization steps, quick and dirty Monte Carlo methods for thermodynamic configurations, polymer crosslinking, protein folding, and potentially more coarse grain accessibility and backmapping. We hope to continue to work with others who have developed these methods for their own research, and make them available to the community through mBuild routines.
