InChI 1.07 has been approved
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. A huge effort from all involved.

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.

Join the update webinar | Wed 24 July 2024 | 14.00-15.00 CET
Coinciding with a technical InChI meeting focussing on organometallics, inorganics, stereochemistry and programming issues, the group will be holding a webinar on the recent InChI developments on Wednesday 24 July, at 2 pm CET. Fresh developments for organometallics, inorganics but also for the application InChIs such as Reaction InChI, NanoInChI, Mixtures InChI will be reviewed…. REGISTER
