Dear WIEN2k users,

Finally a new version has been released and *upgrading *is *highly **recommended*. It contains all bug-fixes of WIEN2k_21 and many new features:

*siteconfig_lapw -update prev-w2k-dir *simplifies the update significantly.*
*

*init_lapw: batch mode *with -prec 1 is now the default,**the *-prec 0/1/2/3(n)* switch sets automatically *RKmax, HDLOs, GMAX and k-mesh* (n means -nometal option) according to *cell size and type of atoms*

run(sp)_lapw: automatic recovery from QTL-B errors in the first 2 iterations

*self-consistent meta-GGA in generalized Kohn-Sham (gKS) scheme*: SCF SCAN (or better r2SCAN), or other supported mGGAs by libXC. *init_mgga_lapw* script for semi-automatic initialization. scf mGGA  with only *marginally increased cpu time.*

*Stress calculations*:  the *stress tensor*  gives you from a single scf calculation a hint whether the lattice parameters should be increased/decreased. Present limitations: i) *only NREL calculations* possible (automatically switched, still good for elements with ~Z<30; ii) *Spin-polarized GGA* calculations have still a bug (LSDA is possible); iii) very *time consuming lapw2 step*

For more new features and a list of all changes see: http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/updates/*

Best regards
