Changelog bug-fixes Amsterdam Modeling Suite 2022

Revision Description
r116452 AMS2022.105 released (Dec 13, 2023) This is the final release of AMS2022.
r116020 e-Reaxff: undo the previous change because it was apparently a bug present only in the version used to obtain published results in the 2016 paper. More recent e-Reaxff version do not contain it.
r116005 e-Reaxff: fix a bug that resulted in the electron-electron repulsion being underestimated. With this fix it should now be possible to reproduce the literature e-Reaxff results.
r113500 ADF NCI: Fixed a bug that resulted in DenSigned having the wrong sign.
r112003 AMS: Fix the FIRE optimizer so it can work with a fully frozen system.
r111534 BAND: Repair restarts using the NOCVdRhoPlot and NOPRdRhoPlot blocks”.
r111504 AMSInput: Bug with slicer tool “Rotation of normal to z-axis is not accurate”.

r111073 AMSpectra: bugfix for crash when exporting x-y values.
r110787 AMSjobs: dynamic queues did not update automatically.
r110783 APPLE&P: Fix a bug introduced with r110482.
r110519 AMS: Fix a bug that could lead to premature termination of MD with molecule gun.
r110482 APPLE&P: Improve performance for systems with lone pairs. The speed-up can be up to factor 2.
r110335 APPLE&P: Avoid memory leak caused by a compiler bug.
r110232 AMSinput: fix the previous fix for .in files import: was broken on anything but Windows after the fix…
r110148 AMSinput: Avoid cmd window popup when using .in files in builder on Windows. Filter all supported file types for the builder molecule selection.
r110141 AMSinput: improve handling of .in files in builder, taking the bonds into account instead of auto-generating bonds.
r110109 APPLE&P: Avoid printing a warning about missing repulsion if both ions are positively or negatively charged.
r110034 BAND: with print totalenergy also print a list with the energies in Hartree in full precision.
r109999 AMSinput: map to unit cell no longer automatically calls Guess Bonds
r109994 GUI: CONECT records from PDB will now create bonds to closeds image for periodic systems.

r109325 ADF: bugfix POLTDDFT basis sets icw PBE.
r109211 AMS MD: Do not remove motion in directions where ApplyVelocity is zero. Prior to this fix, ApplyVelocity cannot coexist with ApplyForce on the same region because it overrides all components of the net velocity, effectivelly cancelling any effect of ApplyForce. If you need to recover the old behaviour (forcing a particular velocity component to zero), just set it to a tiny value like 1e-300.
r109186 AMSmovie: Show the FFMPEG error information when exporting a movie failed.

r103784 ADF/BAND: QTAIM might warn “PSearch37 WARNING: More critical points found than can fit”, especially when using many cores. Potentially critical points could be missed.
r103759 AMSmovie: change startup to avoid wrong window layout in rare cases.
r103709 PLAMS: Fix a filename clash for jobs whose name explicitly ends with the counting suffix (e.g. “.002”). A manually supplied counting suffix is now ignored. Also fix a potential race condition in the JobManager class.
