[CP2K:2373] Re: Different version, different result?

Hi

there was a change in algorithm for the solution of the
linear response equations. As you can see it now
converges much faster. The problem is that the convergence
criteria has also changed. You should set the EPS value
in LINRES to 1.e-6 or lower to get similarly converged vectors
as before.

regards

Juerg
