v1.3 — February 2019

Documentation Installers Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 1.3 Continuous Version: 1.3 Release Date: 28 February 2019 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/1.3/ Availability: Public, GitHub source, CMake build, Conda binary installers Span: 335 PRs, roughly 1065-1558 Major Points of Interest Added native Windows compatibility without the WSL requirement. DFT collocation grids can now be cache in-memory to avoid extra computation and lowering the total cost of DFT by up to a factor of two (#1233).

v1.2 — July 2018

Documentation Installers Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 1.2 Continuous Version: 1.2 Release Date: 4 July 2018 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/1.2/ Availability: Public, GitHub source, CMake build, Conda binary installers Major Points of Interest The DFT kernels were migrated to use LibXC, Psi4 now has 400+ functionals including modern functionals such as wB97M-V. The DFT code was optimized leading up to a 4x speed enhancement on 6 cores. A new Density-Fitted JK backend was written, DF-SCF is now up to 2x as fast.

v1.1 — May 2017

Documentation Installers Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 1.1 Continuous Version: 1.1 Release Date: 19 May 2017 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/1.1/ Availability: Public, GitHub source, CMake build, Conda binary installers New Methods Added analytic RHF Hessians, conventional and density fitted. Added analytic RHF CCSD(T) gradients (no frozen core). Added functional-group and intramolecular symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (F/I-SAPT) capabilities, scripts, and tests. (DOIs: 10.1021/ct500724p, 10.1063/1.4927575) Added high-spin open-shell SAPT0. Note that Ind20,r (and exch counterpart) contains unrelaxed induction.

v1.0 — July 2016

Documentation Installers Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 1.0 Continuous Version: 1.0 Release Date: 4 Jul 2016 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/1.0.0/ Availability: Public, GitHub source, CMake build, Conda binary installers Psi4is, in many ways, a whole new package compared to Psi3. While some libraries and modules remain the same, the majority of the code has been rewritten from scratch based on a powerful set of new libraries written in C++. A totally new Python front-end makes Psi4incredibly user-friendly and automates many common tasks such as basis set extrapolation, composite methods, running the same computation on every molecule in a test set, etc.

Beta5 — July 2013

Documentation Source Release Notes RN at GitHub link much better formatted than below. Advertised Version: 4.0b5 Continuous Version: 1.0b5 Release Date: 3 Jul 2013 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/4.0b5/ Availability: Public, Sourceforge source, Autotools build, No binary This release adds a little additional functionality, fixes several bugs, improves the installation process and the documentation, and adds a couple of new built-in databases. It also includes some work-in-progress that will lead to improvements in the next release.

Beta4 — Apr 2013

Documentataion Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 4.0b4 Continuous Version: 1.0b4 Release Date: 7 Apr 2013 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/4.0b4/ Availability: Public, Sourceforge source, Autotools build, No binary The first public beta release includes all-new, very efficient density-fitted, shared-memory parallel code for Hartree-Fock, DFT, and MP2, and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). We also add new code for MP4, QCISD(T), and G2. New modules performing frozen natural orbital coupled-cluster have been added. Previous PSI3 functionality for coupled-cluster energies and properties, and arbitrary-order CI and MBPT energies is also available.

Beta3 — Oct 2012

Documentation Source Release Notes Advertised Version: 4.0b3 Continuous Version: 1.0b3 Release Date: 23 Oct 2012 Documentation: http://psicode.org/psi4manual/4.0b3/ Availability: Private, No Sourceforge source, Autotools build, No binary This version of PSI contains the following features: Hartree-Fock, DFT, MP2, CI, CC, PSIMRCC, ADC(2), SAPT, DCFT, and optimized-orbital MP2 and MP3. Density-fitting is available for Hartree-Fock, DFT, MP2, and SAPT, and is much faster than the conventional algorithms. Most popular functionals are available, but only M05 and M05-2X are available among meta-GGA’s.

Beta2 — May 2012
