(the planning before ABINITv8.4 is stored at http://dev.abinit.org/status/planning-of-merges)

For new developments

This version will be the last in the v8 series. We will switch to v9 afterwards (v9.0 for initial beta testing, v9.1 for development, then later v9.2 for production). v9 will have new build system without abilint, will have F2003, new fallbacks for netcdf4/libxc and other changes that may break backward compatibility …
