Dear Siesta Users, 
I performed a geometry optimization calculation of a molecular crystal using 
the Siesta version 4.1.5 (PBE functional). To try the D3 correction, I 
installed the 5.0.1 version and submitted the same input file to obtain the PBE 
and PBE+D3 (adding the D3 flags in the input) lattice parameters. 
Comparing the PBE result, I observed a shift in two parameters. In the previous 
calculation (version 4.1.5), "a, b, c and volume" were larger than the crystal 
structure, while in the 5.0.1 version, "c and volume" were shorter than the 
crystal. 
Do I need to make any specific changes in geometry optimization using 5.0.1?
Thank you for your helpXavier
