<br>
The current beta contains a serious bug in the v-rescale
thermostat, which renders it nearly useless. I think second beta
might be good.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">On April 1, I'll fool you all
and roll a release candidate from master branch
HEAD, and branch release-2016 immediately. If
stuff isn't merged yet, then it isn't. The one
thing that can't get me fired is releasing quality
code at a predictable time, and the fewer things
we submit to master branch, the easier it is for
me to do that job! ;-) If you need/want some code
in the release, then it needs to be in Gerrit with
Doxygen, user docs and test cases... real soon
now! And get your reviewers interested in advance,
because they're all super busy people. :-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Then May 1, when the worst of
the known issues are handled, I'll release GROMACS
2016. That'll then give us ~6 weeks before Swedes
disappear on summer holidays if we need to do
2016.1 release then.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our long beta phases for 4.6,
5.0 and 5.1 haven't been terribly effective at
finding development bugs (e.g. I broke
multi-rank-per-simulation replica exchange before
5.1, and nobody noticed until the code had been
out for several months; there's various other such
examples). Instead, I'll use that month to
prioritise the kind of exhaustive testing that has
been too onerous for me to contemplate doing after
a multi-month beta phase. Hopefully some of my new
testing infrastructure can be reviewed and
integrated by then, to make that easier.<o:p></o:p></p>
