Release Notes

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

Warning : there is no "abinis" or "abinip" anymore, the executable is now called "abinit".

Internal changes are quite large between ABINITv5 and ABINITv6.
Many developers have concentrated to clean and simplify the package, as well as to make it more robust.
Some of these modifications are visible to the users, many are not.

The consequences of the many modifications will be felt in the forthcoming months, with likely an increased development rate.

In order to have a reasonable time gap between v5.8 and v6.0 it was however important not to wait more than a half year.
So, keep posted, ABINITv6.x is rather exciting !

For the new features of v6.0 compared to v5.8, please, see the release notes, at Release notes .

Please, read the installation notes at Installation notes

For the list of contributors, see the above-mentioned release notes.

Have fun !
