We released binary builds of UnityMol version 0.9.6. They are available from the sourceforge download page https://sourceforge.net/projects/unitymol/files/UnityMol-0.9.6/. Builds are available for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux.

The 0.9.6 release embeds Artemis version Alpha 2.2 and VRPN plugin version Beta 1. There are a lot of deep changes to the code in this release. The overall performance should be greatly improved. Loading PDB files is way quicker, the framerate is drastically improved. Below is a non-exhaustive list of new features, fixed bugs and code refactoring carried out.
