<div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">Hi.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">In a Born-Oppenheimer MD run using cp.x , with CG electron_dyn, Verlet ion_dyn, and random ion_vel, I noticed that in cp-6.4.1, the temperature "tempp" starts from 0.0 in the first step and increases by steps, while in cp-7.0 the tempp value is quite close to the target temperature. I wonder if in 6.4.1 the initial velocities were randomly distributed according to Boltzmann distribution. I did not find any doc on this change in release notes. It seems QE-7.0 starts correctly.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">I would highly appreciate any comments to resolve this issue.</div>
