ABINITv8.0.7 released (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Dear psi-k members,
ABINIT version 8.0.7 is available ...
You will find it on the ABINIT Web site (http://www.abinit.org), starting from
http://www.abinit.org/downloads/abinit-packages
During the last year, new features were added to ABINIT, but also,
the developers performed in-depth cleaning, and made ABINIT better suited for
further developments and adaptation to new architectures.
In doing so, some obsolete capabilities have been removed, some backward compatibility
have been lost, some input variables have been renamed, etc .
This is all described in the release notes, also with the new features
(related to Van der Waals, pseudopotentials, DMFT, Bethe-Salpeter equation, effective masses,
GW, strain perturbation, positron, temperature-dependent electronic structure, …).
Hoping you will have fun using ABINIT !
Xavier Gonze
