Dear All!
We just posted the next feature release of LAMMPS. Detailed release notes and pre-compiled binaries are on the LAMMPS GitHub release page.
The LAMMPS-GUI version in this release fully supports the excellent revised LAMMPS tutorials by @simongravelle
This release has a significant update to error reporting and error messages.
Many error messages have now a “pointer” that indicates the offending word causing the error.
Also, there is a new page in the documentation: 11.2. Errors and warnings details — LAMMPS documentation with some general advice and specific explanations of certain errors that people often ask about.
The corresponding error messages have been augmented to include a URL that will point to the
matching paragraphs.
We need your help!
Since this is new and a massive amount of changes, there are likely typos or mistakes. For example the “pointer” points to the wrong word or causes a segmentation fault while printing the error or the URL points to the wrong paragraph.
If you see anything with error messages that is not proper, please report them here or on GitHub.
