Hi Everybody!
Just a quick note to announce a new LAMMPS feature release (version 10 December 2025).
It has the usual mix of new features and bugfixes. You can see the detailed release notes here: Release Feature release 10 December 2025 · lammps/lammps · GitHub
The binary packages with the LAMMPS and the GUI now include LAMMPS-GUI version 1.9.0. The packaging scripts now try harder to identify and include dependencies. The Windows binaries
have been updated to use Qt6 instead of Qt5 and are now compiled on Fedora 43 instead of 41.
A new LAMMPS-GUI release (1.9.0) was made at the same time. Standalone versions of the LAMMPS-GUI binaries are also available (without LAMMPS). Those now include a basic version of the LAMMPS shared library/dll and thus can be run directly. But since the LAMMPS library is loaded dynamically, it can be switched to a different version (e.g. a customized version) though the preferences.
As usual, feedback and bug reports are appreciated.
P.S.: all pre-compiled and source packages on the various LAMMPS download servers should be updated by now. Please let us know if you run across any problems.
