[Pw_forum] Quantum ESPRESSO release 5.0

[Layla Martin-Samos]

Version 5.0 of the Quantum ESPRESSO distribution is available for
download from the website http://www.quantum-espresso.org . This
release contains the following improvements over previous versions:

 * More ways of calculating electron-phonon coefficients.
 * Full DFT+U scheme (with J and additional parameters) implemented.
   Should work also for fully-relativistic calculations.
 * band parallelization for Green function sum in EXX (memory replication).

Note the following major changes:

 * The directory structure has been re-organized to better reflect the
   division into packages. As a consequence, almost nothing is in the
   same directory where it used to be
 * It is no longer needed to download the entire distribution: the base
   package will download the required packages at compile time
 * compilation with -DEXX no longer required for hybrid functionals

and the following incompatibilities:

 * Postprocessing codes dos.x, bands.x, projwfc.x, now use namelist
   &dos, &bands, &projwfc respectively, instead of &inputpp
 * Options 'cubic'/'hexagonal' to CELL_PARAMETERS removed: it is no
   longer useful, the code will anyway find the correct sym.ops.
 * Options 'bohr'/'angstrom'/'alat' to CELL_PARAMETERS implemented
 * PHonon: input variable 'elph' replaced by 'electron_phonon'

For other minor improvements, changes, bug fixes, see file Doc/release-notes

Everybody who is using the Quantum ESPRESSO distribution is encouraged
to upgrade and to report problems to the mailing list.
