  • Implementation of BSE calculations beyond the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA).
  • Implementation of core and optical spectroscopy within BSE at finite momentum difference.
  • Distributed diagonalization of the BSE Hamilonian via ScaLapack.
  • Implementation of maximally localized Wannier functions.
  • Wannier interpolation of band structures, density of states, and effective masses.
  • Electronic-transport coefficients by solving the Boltzmann equation.
  • Tutorial scripts are updated and new script tools are added to the existing one.
  • The global variable $EXCITINGSCRIPTS is now obsolete, use $EXCITINGTOOLS instead.
