<p><font face="Times New Roman">Tone,</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">Thanks for the new XCrySDen version.
It looks like the new 1.6.2 version has the WIEN2k k-point
improvement [1] and a gfortran 8.2.0 fix [2]. Even though, I'm
not seeing it mentioned on the News webpage [3].</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">It looks like the popular Linux
precompiled semishared version is not available for 1.6.2. It
took me some time to figure out what packages I needed for
Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS to install it from the source code instead,
but the install went smoothly after that. If it helps other
Ubuntu users, the packages I had to install to build it are
listed below:</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">In a Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS terminal,
entered the commands:<br>

<font face="Times New Roman">cd ~</font><br>

<font face="Times New Roman">sudo apt install libquadmath0 gfortran

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear colleagues,
I would like to inform you about new xcrysden version 1.6, which
includes several new features and bug fixes, documented here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.xcrysden.org/News.html">http://www.xcrysden.org/News.html</a>
Perhaps, the most useful new feature is the "reload" button, which
reloads the structure from the file.
New version is available in source form and as precompiled for Linux,
MacOS, and Windows. For more details see:
