[QE-users] Band unfolding code recommendations

Hi Dominik,

I did give it ago about 1.5 years ago with QE6.3 if I remember correctly 
compiled with the OLD_XML flag (it was dropped in later releases), so I 
believe that unless you need some very new features you probably can use 
slightly older version.

Best regards,
