| Revision | Description |
|---|---|
| r86082 | Make sure the floating license is released for crashed and killed DFTB and BAND calculations. |
| r86035 | Improve prediction of the next energy during quasi-Newton optimization with constraints. |
| r86033 | adfreport: fixed a bug that would cause the program to crash when processing many (over 60) files at once. |
| r85941 | GUI: running remote jobs left tail processes on the remote machine for showing the logfile, cleanup code fixed. |
| r85848 | BAND: When using the explicit Occupation options, the occupations would be wrong in the GUI. |
| r85685 | ADFinput: Avoid endless warning popups when saving a job with the Run Script window open. |
| r85679 | ADFinput: Builder could add an incorrect number of molecules due to round-off errors (one too many or few). |
| r85668 |
ADF: bug fix workaround Grimme4 dispersion for (trans-)actinides.
Grimme4 dispersion is not available for (trans-)actinides (Z>86). Workaround in ADF is to use the parameters for the lighter 6th row homologs (Z = Z - 32) instead However, this workaround was incorrectly implemented for elements with Z=87-94. |
| r85660 | COSMO-RS GUI: Allow space in name QSPR COSMO result file. |
| r85509 | ADFinput: Fix polymer builder performance issue and 'Orient link' 'UFF Scan' option. |

| r85314 | AMS NEB: Fixed a small glitch related to NEB restart fix in r84969. |
| r85191 | ADFmovie: When opening a GCMC result file, do not disable the Show Accepted Geometries menu (so user can select to show all geometries). |
| r85061 | AMS: The InitialHessian option in GeometryOptimization and IRC can now accept a ADF t21 file as input. |
| r84969 | AMS NEB: Fix a bug that would cause problems restarting an NEB calculation. |
| r84927 | BAND: Fix a bug that would caused noise on the gradients, especially when using many cores, hampering geometry convergence. |
| r84703 | AMS CVHD: Fix a bug that would cause problems restarting CVHD MD. |
| r84685 | ADFmovie: The labels for the X and Y axes for 2D PES graphs were switched, and show marker in 2D PES graph corresponding to current frame. |
| r84674 | AMS driver: The Quasi-Newton optimizer now uses Cartesian coordinates for linear systems with >2 atoms by default. |
| r84625 | ADFjobs: Fix cloudmachines error. This can be manually fixed by removing the .scm_gui/CloudMachines file found in your userdir, e.g $HOME/.scm_gui/. |
| r84609 | ADFspectra: Moving through frequency peaks with arrow keys would crash after highest frequency when imaginary freqs were present. |
| r84573 | ADFinput: Slicer did show slice plane incorrectly. The fix has no effect on the actual slab generated. |

| r84219 | ADFinput DIMQM: MDC-m charges were used if MDC-D charges were requested, and Hirshfeld charges used for DIMQM could be in wrong order. |
| r84175 |
(May 11th, 2020): AMS2019.304 released
This version includes numerous bug fixes, as well as a new software rendering option for the GUI to replace the OpenGL1 fallback mode. For more info see https://www.scm.com/doc/Installation/Remote_GUI.html#ams2019-304-and-vtk7 |
| r84174 | AMS MD: Fix a bug related to combining CVHD and RemoveMolecules. |
| r84139 | ADFinput: fix NEGF jobs for ADF (they did not run because of incorrect fragment blocks). |
| r83937 | ADF: allow for B97-D with different Grimme dispersion. |
| r83768 | ADFspectra: Fix issue with switching modes on Windows, introduced in r83131. |
| r83570 | GUI: Fix issue with hanging modules, observed on some macOS machines, related to installed fonts. |
| r83563 |
Windows: Fixed an issue in figuring out the number of cores in the machine.
The problem was introduced in r82879 and it affects the number of parallel processes spawned for local Windows jobs. |
| r83528 | ADFjobs: Fix remote jobs with parentheses in the path. |
| r83523 | DFTB: improved performance of serial calculations for large systems |
| r83487 | ADF: fix unrestricted calculation of PM localized MOs. |
| r83403 |
Windows: upgrade Putty to v0.73 (64-bit).
The new version Putty version is a 64-bit binary. The default RSA key size has been increased to 2048 which should help with "TIMEOUT" errors when running remote jobs. If you are still using a 1023-bit key you may have to create a new, 2048-bit one. |
| r83359 |
Fixed retrocompatibility issue for band.rkf results files.
Now it is possible to visualize in ADFView Band results files created with AMS2019.1 using AMS2019.3. |

| r83177 | ADFmovie: Fix map atoms into unit cell for non-AMS/ADF result types. |
| r83131 | ADFspectra: Fix warning message when hovering over the View->Atom Details (and related) menu. |
| r83026 | ADFinput: CV(n)-DFT requires an all electron basis set |
| r83024 | ADFinput: CD requires NOSYM |
| r82922 |
SCM menu behaviour changed
Now using the SCM menu will try to open the currently open file first, if possible, instead of trying the main job. This is as it was before r82616, except for fixing opening of explicitly selected files in ADFjobs. |
| r82879 | Corrected an issue in detecting the number of physical cores for Windows machines with more than 64 virtual processors. |
| r82763 | ADFinput: unit labels for repeated fields (like Molecule Gun) did not correctly show after redisplaying the page |
| r82616 |
SCM menu: uniform behaviour
In all modules except ADFjobs using the SCM menu will act the same as opening the selected module with the current job. In ADFjobs with a job selected behaviour is the same, when a file has been explicitly selected that file will be opened. |
| r82561 | ADFjobs SCM menu: when a file is selected in ADFjobs, always open that file (if supported by the module started) |
| r82559 | ADFmovie: Change default movie export to mp4 with x264 encoding. |
| r82504 | ADFmovie: Fix displaying SDF files with different amount of atoms. |
| r82441 | NMR and CPL: Remove the scratch RIHartreeFock file at the end of a calculation. |
| r82369 | ADFmovie: Fix error when displaying a PES scan, introduced by r80628. |
| r82350 |
GUI: Removed the OpenGL1 fallback in favour of providing OpenGL libraries that use software rendering.
On Windows, usage of the provided libraries is decided automatically at runtime. On Linux, the environment variable SCM_OPENGL_SOFTWARE needs to be set in order to use the provided libraries. The old SCM_OPENGL1_FALLBACK environment variable is no longer used. |
| r82337 | GUI: Fix issues with certain modules (mainly ADFspectra not loading spectra) when used over SSH. |
| r82164 | DFTB/band: prevent issue -- cannot linearize extreme dispersion -- . This was not implemented for 1D and 2D periodic systems. It prevents very high bands picking up small occupations, which coulc happen with very small basis sets. |
| r82157 | GUI: Fixed several issues (e.g. pre-optimizer, field visualization) related to TMPDIR permissions on Windows. |
| r82142 |
Fixed a license issue for PES point characterization with BAND
The AMS driver attempted to use the DFTB engine for the calculation of the preconditioning Hessian and guess modes, which failed for users without a DFTB license. It now falls back to UFF in case DFTB is not available. |
| r82093 |
Bugfix error histograms for ReaxFF parameter fitting.
A bug in the analyze_errors script used in the ReaxFF fitting tutorial caused error histograms (error_bonds.csv, errors_angle.csv, etc.) to be shifted left by one bin. The count for the leftmost bin was lost, so the sum of all counts did not match the number of corresponding entries in the training set. |
| r82080 |
AMS NEB: Improve interpolation in the internal coordinates and add an option to add (valence and/or dihedral) angles to it.
Possible values of the NEB%InterpolationOption key: 1 - only distances, 2 - distances and near-linear valence angles, 3 - distances and all valence angles, 4 - distances and dihedral angles, 99 - all coordinates |
| r82031 | ADF via AMS was not enabled in ADFinput in some cases. |
| r82010 | Densf: add a repulsive NCI region as -3 value of the NCI field. |
| r81909 | (February 24th, 2020): AMS2019.303 released |
| r81700 | ADFspectra: fix issue with using the menu on Windows. |
| r81514 |
AMS-ReaxFF: Return corrected bond orders by default.
The ReaxFF engine now accepts a new input option "ReturnCorrectedBonds". With the default setting (enabled), the bonds returned to the driver are based on the final bond orders that include valence-dependent correction terms. Disable this if you want to see the raw uncorrected bond orders instead (ReaxFF will still use the corrected bond orders internally to evaluate the potential as usual). Although classic reaxff defaulted to uncorrected bonds, in practice all our control files always set icobo=1, so most users likely expect seeing corrected bonds (which are also more chemically intuitive). Uncorrected bond orders also make molecule analysis unreliable. |
| r81511 | Pipe engine, ASEPipeWorker: Fix compliance with the protocol specification. |
| r81425 | KFBrowser: fix getting frequency labels from rkf style files |
| r81414 | ADFmovie: Fix some issues with displaying electrons and electron holes (from eReaxff). |
| r81299 |
Bugfix XZ and YZ components of the polarizability tensor in the TAPE21 Properties section.
Before the fix, the XZ and YZ components of the tensor were interchanged. |
| r81277 |
Bugfix in the MESA SCF acceleration method.
In rare situation the bug could result in an "All MOs have zero eigenvalue" error. With the fix, the method that produced an invalid Fock matrix will be discarded at the current step. |
