Releases
v2.6.0
New features
Complete rewrite of the Atoms and SCF classes
Easily allow systems with different charge or multiplicity
Document all public properties
Use properties when parsing input arguments
Allow direct setting of attributes
Better input handling
Use an Occupations object to store electronic states information in Atoms
Use a GTH object to store GTH data in SCF
Add some properties to the objects, e.g., the volume element dV in Atoms
Indicate non-input arguments and non-results as private or read-only
Breaking:
Use unrestricted instead of Nspin
Use spin and charge instead of Nstate and f
Remove f and s as keyword arguments, can be set after initialization
Remove cgform as a keyword argument, use the run function to pass it to minimizers
Rename min keyword to opt
Merge symmetric with guess
Add DFT-D3 dispersion correction as an extra
Updated docs
Add a theory introduction page
Add documentation to module data/constants
Add a list of all packages and their respective licenses
Re-add documentation of operators to Atoms
Add a custom functional example
Improve the geometry optimization example
Add PNGs to the downloads section
Sort attributes groupwise
Fix a lot of typos
Coding style
Type check with mypy
Fix a lot of type warnings from mypy
Add type hints to scripts in docs and setup.py
Rename some arguments to not shadow builtins
Miscellaneous
Create the eminus-benchmarks repository
Move the SimpleDFT example to said repository
Small performance improvements, mostly for meta-GGAs
Add an error message when attempting to use operators of an unbuilt Atoms object
Add Matplotlib to the viewer setup to generate images in the examples
More tests, e.g, for different spin and charge states
Add a small demo function
You can’t perform that action at this time.
