[CP2K:2371] Different version, different result?

Hi

the different default that you have is the unit of the
cell dimension.
In the newer version this is now Angstrom, consistent with the
coordinates. You can see this by checking the volume in the
pw_grid output. By given the units explicitely, you should be able
to recover the older results.
