Dear WIEN2k users,

Finally, after a delay of almost one year, a new version is ready for 
distribution. WIEN2k_16 contains a lot of improvements and bug fixes and 
is a highly recommended, important update.

lapw0: new meta-GGAs, the libxc-library and plotting of tau, ..

lapw1: faster matrix routines (in real-sequential mode, in NMR-mode (all 
eigenvalues) and in mpi-parallel mode (ELPA). It supports now HDLOs 
(basis with d^2 u(r) / d^2 E) for better linearization (mainly for d- 
and f-atoms and large spheres) and together with a larger NLSMAX value 
(case.in1) you can use large atomic spheres without loss of accuracy.

lapwso: bug-fixes in mpi version (non-squared processor grids)

lapw2: support for multiple LOs and HDLOs, dmats in lapw2

hf: significant speedup (3 different modes for mpi-parallelization)

mixer: new version

x_nmr: Knight shift for metals, disk-space saving option

BerryPI and wien2wannier: new versions

various other changes, improved numerical stability (L.Marks), new 
scripts (Cgrace ...), support for SLURM (srun) queuing systems, ...
