Dear ABINIT users,

ABINIT version 8.8.2 is available ...

You will find it on the Web site, starting from
https://www.abinit.org/packages

*** This release of ABINIT is a production version ***

From ABINIT v8.8.1 to ABINIT v8.8.2, most of the minor problems with the Intel 18.0 compiler have been eliminated.

By the way, more than 1500 phonon band structures for insulators, computed with ABINIT, are now available on the Materials Project web site https://materialsproject.org , accompanied with derived thermodynamic quantities, Born effective charges, dielectric tensor … The new algorithm for the weights of phonon band interpolation, described in B5 of https://docs.abinit.org/about/release-notes has proved quite important for this achievement.

Enjoy !
Xavier
