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

Announcement : starting from mid-July 2023, there will be a unique version number (and associated git tag) for the frozen versions, different from the version number for versions "in progress".
