Elk version 2.2.8 released

Dear All,

Elk version 2.2.8 has just been released.

This version fixes a serious bug introduced in version 2.2.5 which affects properties computed with GGA. This was discovered by Jan Balluff and Markus Meinert.

The new version is also considerably faster than the previous version thanks to further improvements in the treatment of functions inside the muffin-tin.

Best wishes,
Kay Dewhurst, Sangeeta Sharma, Lars Nordstrom, Francesco Cricchio, Fredrik Bultmark, Oscar Grånäs and Hardy Gross
