<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div style>Typically we do not allow new functionality to be added in patch releases which means that after a major/minor release happens only bugfixes, performance regression fixes or other improvements involving rather minor code changes are allowed in patch branches. All major development effort should be focused on the next release. The aim is to have feature-wise super-stable releases with patch releases changing close to nothing that can affect the behavior or results of mdrun or tools. This ensures that people can safely upgrade to new patch releases even in the middle of a scientific project.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>The 4.6 release is a very much performance-oriented release with new parallelization and SIMD acceleration schemes and there will be some minor additions like SIMD acceleration extensions targeting exotic HPC architectures like Sparc or PPC, but nothing much more than that.</div>
