HOOMD 0.7.1 Released
A critical bug that might cause incorrect results in simulations with tiny box sizes was just discovered. HOOMD 0.7.1 is being released to fix this issue. All users should upgrade immediately. Large simulations with 1000's of particles are not effected, only tiny simulations with a few 100 particles experience the bug.
Changes since 0.7.0
- Fixed a bug where systems with box dimensions less than 3*(r_cut+r_buff) would run incorrectly and without producing an error.
- Fixed a bug that prevented extremely low density systems from being run.
We are committed to providing an accurate, as well as fast, simulation software and have a stringent battery of automatic unit tests to verify the correct calculation of every force and integration step in HOOMD. This critical bug slipped through simply because none of those test cases was set in such a tiny box size.

HOOMD 0.7.0 Released
HOOMD 0.7.0 is finally done!
The biggest change is the inclusion of the job scripting system. With it, configuring simulations in HOOMD is a snap. See the quick start tutorial for in introduction. HOOMD 0.7.0 has also been thoroughly tested for stability and accuracy. We have a 2-GPU machine that has been running research simulations 24/7 for weeks now without a single crash or other problem.
In other words, HOOMD is now ready to be used by anyone for serious research, download it now.
Changes since 0.6.0:
- Job scripting system
- User documentation
- Stability improvements
- Energy logging
- File conversion scripts
- GPU selection
- Advanced initial configuration generator (for polymers)
- Particle types named by strings
- Bug fixes
... and much, much more. See the change log for a more detailed list.
