[QE-developers] to do list for the next release

[Filippo Spiga]

Hi Pietro,

two questions (pure curiosity)
- Is this going to be a 6.3.1, 6.4 or 7.0?
- In term of checkpoint/restart or any more complex workflow, what is the forward & backward compatibility of this version? i.e. can I do PWscf from any previous 6.x and run PH of this latest version? Or can I stop a PWscf calculation I was running from a previous 6.x and resume it using this latest version? things like that ...)

Cheers
