Here is a list of the significant changes between 2.5.1 and 2.5.0:

• Minor bugs fixed.

• New tool to compute the thermochemistry properties : Display window/Animation/Vibration

  • • Global and local reactivity indices can be calculated by Finite Difference or Frontier Molecular Orbitals : Display window/Reactvity Indices.

• 2018 Windows version of Gamess supported (Install Gamess in C:\Users\Public\gamess-64 and copy or rename gamess.2018-R1-pgi.exe in gamess.11-64.exe )

• Several new crystallography tools have been implemented. Gabedit can now :

• • Read CIF file.

  • Build SuperCell.

  • Build Slab.

  • Build Cluster using Wulff construction.

  • Export structure in CIF file (with or without symmetry operators).

  • Reduce Cell to primitive, Niggli or Delaunay one.

  • Compute space group & symmetry operators.

  • Standardize cell (to conventional or to primitive).

  • Generate k-points along high symmetry lines, for band structure calculations.

  • Get a prototype crystal from a database implemented in Gabedit.

  • They are available by selecting "Crystallography" from "Draw window" menu. The list of references used to implement these tools can be obtained from: Draw window/Crystallography/Help& references.

• Gabedit can now compute local vibrationnal modes. The implemented method is that described in Christoph R. Jacob & Markus Riher , J. Chem Phys. 130 (2009) 084106 and Xiaolu Cheng, Justin J. Talbot, and in Ryan P. Steele, J. Chem. Phys. 145 (2016) 124112
