Backward compatibility notices:

  • delete_atoms porosity requires a group as an additional argument
  • The CC.Lebedeva interlayer potential file has been updated. It now uses by default parameters for "normal" conditions. The previous default parameters are tuned for high-pressure conditions and available when using "C1" instead of "C" as element.
