NWChem Version 6.1 Release Notes
NOTE: These release notes are not a substitute for reading the User Manual!
They are meant to give a thumbnail sketch of the new capabilities and bug
fixes that are available in NWChem Version 6.1. When there is a conflict
between the release notes and the User Manual, the User Manual takes
precedence.
NWChem 6.1 is released as open-source under the ECL 2.0 license.
NWChem 6.1 will be released with the latest Global Arrays Toolkit (GA-5.1).
