Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
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
