* Dispersion calculation with DFT-D (Grimme, courtesy of
Daniel Forrer and Michele Pavone)
* mixed openMP-MPI parallelization: both CP and PWscf have been
demonstrated to run on 65536 processors
* Many other minor improvements: cleanup, porting to new
architectures, many bugs fixed (and new bug opportunities
added: please help debugging! see file Doc/release-notes
for a list of fixed bugs)
Everybody who is using the Quantum-ESPRESSO distribution is encouraged
to upgrade and to report problems to the mailing list. Please note that
the distribution has been split into three packages:
1) sources and documentation
2) tests, examples, pseudopotentials needed to run them
3) GUI (Graphical User Interface)
