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

[Pietro Delugas]

Hi Filippo

- I guess  6.4, but I don't know

- pw output data will be fully compatible with the 6.3,   ph.x 6.4 and 
any  post-processing program  should  be able to use data produced by 
6.3 and in most cases vice-versa.

   I cannot guarantee that you will be able to resume phonon 
computations started with 6.3 with the new version, this  fortunately  
sounds like a very unlikely contingency.

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 ...)
