Known bugs & limitations 

  •  The implementation does not currently run on non SSE architectures due to a bug in Atoms_default.h 

  •  Born radii become inaccurate if there atoms fulfilling: radius + probe_radius > 10.0

     

Changelog

  •  Version 1.0.1

    • FAST integration factor was changed to 10.0, which was also used for the cited paper above due to a bug in the code.
