GAMGI (General Atomistic Modelling Graphic Interface) is a program to build, view, and analyze atomic strucures such as molecules, crystals, glasses, liquids, etc. It aims to be useful for: the scientific community working in Atomistic Modelling that needs a graphic interface to build input data and to view and analyse output data, calculated with Ab-Initio and Molecular Mechanics programs; the scientific community at large studying chemistry, physics, materials science, geology, etc., that needs a graphic interface to view and analyse atomic structural information and to prepare images for presentations in classes and seminars; teaching chemistry and physics in secondary schools and universities; science promotion in schools, exhibitions and science museums.

This release fixes a few copyright issues raised by the Debian legal team. It includes most of the code needed to implement a fast, sophisticated 3D convex hull incremental algorithm. This is array-based (to be faster), with arrays of cell lists (to speed up sampling) and conflict lists (to be NlogN), and can handle coplanar issues, non-triangular faces, periodic boundary conditions, etc. It will be useful to describe arbitrary sets of arbitrary polyhedra defined by atoms, such as in superconductors, silicates, glasses, etc.
