ABINIT v8.0.6 Production release

Post by gonze » Tue May 24, 2016 8:37 pm

Dear ABINIT users,

ABINIT version 8.0.6 is available ...
You will find it on the Web site, starting from
http://www.abinit.org/downloads/abinit-packages

*** This release of ABINIT is a production version ***

It is the first one of the v8 series.

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, Bether-Salpeter equation, effective masses,
GW, strain perturbation, positron …).

Have fun !
Xavier
