===== General Section and General Remarks =====

  * Nov. 2023: The information on the meaning of lower case characters as quantum numbers was misleading and has been rephrased. The term //g//<sub>I</sub> was missing in several "useful equations" because it was assumed to be 1 initially. 
  * Mar. 2019: The program of the VAMDC-CDMS was updated. The Classic or ascii-CDMS was moved to this server. Links have been corrected and should work, but a detailed check is pending. The coding of special characters has been adjusted.
  * Nov. 2009: added note in the link which explains the aggregate spin number.

===== Catalog Search Form =====

[[archive#catalog_search_form|Archive "Catalog Search Form"]]

  * Nov. 2021: A new group was defined: Other hydrocarbons, that are hydrocarbons different from the carbon chain species C<sub>n</sub>H and C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2</sub>, but including isotopologs.

===== Partition Functions =====

  * Apr. 2010: started to add values at 2.725 and 5 K for some species. The log values are also displayed in the partition function table.

===== Molecules in Space =====

[[archive#molecules_in_space|Archive "Molecules in Space"]]

  * Oct. 2024: added 1- and 5-C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>7</sub>CN with documentation.
  * Sep. 2024: added dicyanomethane and //Z//-1,2-dicyanoethene with documentations; updated HOCS<sup>+</sup> documentation.
  * Aug. 2024: added HC<sub>3</sub>S, NC<sub>3</sub>S, CH<sub>2</sub>(CCH)<sub>2</sub>, and HNC<sub>5</sub> with documentations; updated PO, methanol, and 3-hydroxypropenal documentations.
  * July 2024: added HC<sub>3</sub>N<sup>+</sup> with documentation.
  * June 2024: added 1-butyne, HC<sub>5</sub>N<sup>+</sup>, and HC<sub>7</sub>N<sup>+</sup> with documentations.
  * May 2024: added CaC<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>CNCN, and cyanothioketene with documentations.
  * Apr. 2024: added thioxyhydroxymethylium, thionylimide, and methoxyethanol with documentations; updated HCCNC, HNC<sub>3</sub>, and HNCS documentations.
  * Mar. 2024: added extragalactic protonated acetylene with documentation; updated H<sub>2</sub>O documentation.
  * Feb. 2024: added HCNS with documentation. Updated HNCS, HSCN, HNCO, and HCNO documentations.
  * Jan. 2024: updated SiC<sub>2</sub> documentation. The 2-butenenitrile species are counted as two because mutual conversion requires breaking of a (double) bond, hence, the E- and Z-species are different isomers, not conformers. 

===== Fitting Spectra =====

[[archive#fitting_spectra|Archive "Fitting Spectra"]]

  * July 2024: added "Some considerations for using SPCAT".
  * May 2024: added 3-hydroxypropenal data.
