Dear users,

We are pleased to announce our latest stable release: Octopus 3.0.1. This 
version includes several bug fixes over our previous release Octopus 
3.0.0.

As usual you can find the source code and binary packages for this release 
on our web page:

http://www.tddft.org/programs/octopus/

There are two important bugs in 3.0.0 that are now fixed:

* When using the aetrs or exp_mid time evolutions methods an error in the
   extrapolation could produce instabilities in the propagation. The
   default propagator etrs was not affected.

* If octopus was compiled with MPI and libnbc support (the default for
   most platforms) data corruption and wrong results could be obtained,
   specially if the OpenMPI library was used.

A more detailed list of changes can be found in the Changes page:

Best regards,

The Octopus development team
