The ICSD database now contains 232,012 crystal structures.

The re-evaluation and recreation of the missing NIST legacy data from the last release is now finished. Most of the structures from the original NIST legacy data could be recreated and we include a significant amount of additional structures from these publications.

During the update procedure, 13,256 new entries were added, 808 entries were modified and 83 entries were removed. More than 170,000 ICSD entries have now been assigned to 9,490 distinct structure types.
