Full Changelog: v3.0...v3.0.1

crest version 3.0

What's Changed

CREST 3.0 is a major overhaul of the previous code versions. A large part of the original source code was rewritten to implement calculators, optimization, and molecular dynamics routines directly, rather than relying only on the xtb program as a subprocess.
Consequently, there are performance improvements and a significant reduction of I/O operations.

Features include:

• Major code refactoring
• New input file reader
• Energy- and gradient-based interface for calculations
• Standalone ANCOPT implementation (RF optimizer with BFGS update step in approximate normal coordinates)
• Standalone MD and metadynamics module
• Standalone implementation of geometrical constraints
• New minimum energy crossing point (MECP) algorithm (see JCTC, 2022, 18 (10), 6370-6385.)
• Integration of the tblite submodule
• Integration of a GFN0-xTB submodule (see J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2023, 14, 19, 4440–4448)
• Integration of the TOML-F parser
• Integration of a GFN-FF submodule
• Implementation of a multi-layered multi-center ONIOM calculator (see J. Phys. Chem. B 2024, 128, 13, 3145–3156, @paw61)
• Proper unit tests for the CMake build
• MSREACT mode (@gorges97)
• Implementation of X-HCFF (@zellerf)
• Effective Hessian calculator (@GereonFeldmann)
• and more ...
