As opposed to continuing from the same directory? I did not try, but I 
am not exactly sure what do you mean. I need to copy all input files as 
well, and then I do not understand what is the difference compares to 
just continuing from the same directory.

I do. The first iteration after switching the versions shows a very 
large charge distance, and then it converges - to the same valence 
state, sure, but the f states are shifted by about 1 eV w.r.t. the 
d-states (and Fermi).

I do not see how. I start with the charge densities that in the old 
version were fully converged, the output was identical to the input.
