News

2.0.0 is included in the WIEN2k_16.1 distribution; to use it, simply install the latest Wien2k version. -specific documentation is included in SRC_w2w/.

This version introduces backward-incompatible changes in the format of case.inwplot. Several outdated options have been removed (see NEWS for a description of the changes, and SRC_templates/case.inwplot for an example), as has write_inwplot.

The new script checkinwplot converts old-style input files. x wplot calls this script automatically.

In spin-polarized cases, x w2w -up|-dn now expects separate input files case.inwfup and case.inwfdn.

For some other enhancements and bugfixes in this release, see the file NEWS included in the distribution.
