HOOMD-blue 7.0 writes GSD schema 2.0 files. Update your other software for compatibility:

  • gsd >= 5.0
  • Ovito >= 3.15.2
  • gsd-vmd >= 0.6.0

HOOMD-blue 7.0 also changes the definition of the 3D rotation trial move size a (2D rotation moves are not changed). You will need to retune any hard-coded or saved values. Here are the distributions of the trial move rotation angles in HOOMD-blue 2.0--6.x and in 7.0+ for comparison:

Added

  • hoomd.hpmc.integrate.HPMCIntegrator.translate_move_dimensions: Sets the dimensionality of HPMC translation moves, enabling interfacial confinement (xy) in 3D simulations (#2265).
  • create_state_from_gsd can now read GSD schema 2.0 files (#2249).
  • write.GSD and write.Burst can now write double precision values to GSD files. Set precision="double" to enable. The default value is "single", consistent with previous releases (#2249).

Changed

  • Use tabs in binary installation documentation (#2246).
  • Improve the sampling of 3D rotation trial moves (#2264).

Fixed

  • Fixed Helfrich equation in the docs (#2242)
  • Build with Eigen 5.x (#2261)
