v0.29.0 / 2023-10-31
Bug Fixes
(GH#427) Config - Once again, expand environment variables (now more flexibly) and newly expand
~passed into TaskConfig. Particularly relevant for scratch setting. @yueyericardo(GH#428) MDI - Ensure that molecule orientation remains fixed for MDI. @taylor-a-barnes
(GH#405, GH#415, GH#417) Config - change default
jobs_per_nodefrom 2 to more expected 1 so a single job fills the node. Alter CPU count formula to return physical cores on Hyperthreading machines, affecting defaultncores. The net effect (both changes) for default cores running on Hyperthreading machines is unchanged. Nevertheless, fixes some Windows problems. @cvsik, @loriab(GH#433) Turbomole, Q-Chem - Use raw strings when needed to avoid py312 warnings. @loriab
(GH#435) GAMESS - Collect the correct MP2 module in parsing for newer versions (>2021,<=2023). @loriab
Misc.
(GH#433) CI - Check py312 and some Windows lanes. @loriab
v0.28.1 / 2023-08-18
Bug Fixes
(GH#426) Psi4 - fix
get_versionon Windows where whole path and command were getting passed to version parser. @loriab
v0.28.0 / 2023-08-15
Breaking Changes
New Features
(GH#400) Config - task configuration can now be set via CLI (qcengine run -h for details) or by environment variables beginning with QCENGINE_. @bennybp
(GH#393, GH#392) MCTC-GCP - Adds b973c and r2scan3c methods to the gcp (mctc only, not classic) harness. @hokru
(GH#393) DFTD4 - Allows ga, gc, wf parameters to be tweaked (needed for r2scan-3c). This feature requires dftd4 3.5.0. @hokru
Enhancements
(GH#410, GH#408) TorsionDrive - silence warnings by using the
task_configargument internally. @jthorton(GH#409) Psi4 - improve no-valid-error message so classifies as a RandomError and is eligible for restart. @jthorton
(GH#405) Turbomole - correctly enable OpenMP and environment passing. Pass SCF convergence and maximum iterations to define. @cvsik
(GH#403, GH#402) PyBerny - fix optimizer to respect the task_config options. @q-posev
(GH#386) CI - turn on formerly LGTM now GitHub CodeQL analysis. @lgtm-migrator
(GH#388) MRChem - more detailed info about the parallel setup saved to output provenance. @robertodr

(GH#423, GH#377) NWChem - allow two answers for test
test_atom_labels[nwchem]to accommodate SCF solutions in different versions. @loriab
Bug Fixes
(GH#401) MDI - fix bug in the shape of the MDI forces structure. @taylor-a-barnes
(GH#399, GH#401) MPI - remove MPI setup for MDI. This eliminates a bug where interfering MPI environment variables were getting set upon
import qcenginewhen pymdi and mpi4py packages were present. @awvwgk, @taylor-a-barnes(GH#418, GH#389, GH#292) Psi4 - make Psi4 exe/module detection and version parsing more robust. @Flamefire, @coltonbh, @loriab
Misc.
v0.27.0 / 2023-08-02
Bug Fixes
(GH#414) Import pydantic.v1 from pydantic v2 so that QCEngine can work with any >=1.8.2 pydantic until QCEngine is updated for v2. If using v2, use QCElemental >=v0.26.0 that has a similar change. QCEngineRecords received similar treatment. @Lnaden, @loriab
(GH#414) Versioneer - update so works with Python 3.12.
- (GH#414) Maintenance
Sphinx - fix build errors.
Lint - pin black to 2022 format.
GHA - switch to mamba solver. @loriab
(GH#394) Entos/Qcore - updated model environments. @loriab
v0.26.0 / 2022-11-30
Breaking Changes
(GH#385) Dispersion - the dispersion parameters resources file has been altered so that for D3 variants there’s a 2b set (e.g., d3bj2b) that is pure 2-body and doesn’t accept s9 (effectively fixed at 0.0) and a atm set (e.g., d3zeroatm) that does accept s9 (by default 1.0 but user-variable). Previous D3 levels are aliased to 2b. Only downstreams that call the dispersion resources directly should be affected, and retrofits are in place for the known victim/instigator (Psi4). @loriab
New Features
Enhancements
(GH#380) MRChem - added gradient and thus geometry optimizations support. @robertodr
(GH#385) dftd3 - the classic interface now accepts e.g.,
d3mbj2bas a level hint. @loriab(GH#385) s-dftd3 - added keyword
apply_qcengine_aliasesthat when True andlevel_hintpresent allows the levels and aliases in the dispersion resources (e.g.,d3,d3atm,d32b) to be given aslevel_hint. The resource parameters are passed to s-dftd3 as param_tweaks. @loriab
Bug Fixes
(GH#383) yaml - uses safe loading. @mbanck, @loriab
(GH#385) dftd3 - the pairwise analysis requested through
AtomicInput.keywords["pair_resolved"] = Trueand returned inAtomicResult.extras["qcvars"]["2-BODY PAIRWISE DISPERSION CORRECTION ANALYSIS"]was elementwise too large by a factor of 2. It now matches thes-dftd3harness and fulfills that the sum of the array equals the 2-body dispersion energy. @loriab
v0.25.0 / 2022-11-11
Breaking Changes
(GH#376) GAMESS - slight breaking changes of (1) ROHF MP2 ZAPT quantities now stored in “ZAPT” variables, not “MP2” variables; and (2) “HF TOTAL ENERGY” no longer stores DFT energy in DFT computation. @loriab
(GH#376) testing - reference quantities now indexed by “standard” or “semicanonical” orbitals since program defaults differ (mostly in CCSD ROHF FC). Downstream projects using the stdsuite interface will need to add an extra argument to query reference data. @loriab
New Features
Enhancements
(GH#376) Cfour - added parsing for BCCD and BCCD(T) methods. @loriab
(GH#376) NWChem - B2PLYP double-hybrid can now be run and parsed. Added CC2 parsing. @loriab
(GH#376) testing - added parsing contracts for ZAPT2, CEPA(1), CEPA(3), ACPF, AQCC, BCCD, BCCD(T), CC2, CC3, and DH-DFT. Added conventional references for most. @loriab
(GH#378) OpenFF - Support OpenFF Toolkit v0.11+. @Yoshanuikabundi
Bug Fixes
v0.24.1 / 2022-08-16
Enhancements
(GH#375) testing - in standard suite, add reference values for occ, a-ccsd(t), olccd grad, remp2, omp2, omp2.5, omp3, oremp2, density fitted ccsd, ccsd(t), a-ccsd(t). @loriab
v0.24.0 / 2022-07-08
Upcoming Breaking Changes
(GH#372) QCSchema - changes are planned to schema layout and QCEngine API that will be outlined in an issue. These are not expected to involve detailed changes to the harnesses, and update helper functions will be provided. In preparation, QCEngine is pinned to a maximum compatible QCElemental v0.25.0 (current release). Projects using QCSchema through QCElemental are advised to pin to maximum v0.25.0 qcel and v0.24.0 to avert trouble, since this is our first experience with schema increments. @loriab
New Features
(GH#343) DFT-D3 - added the
SDFTD3Harnessto handle DFT-D3 via a Python API. This has native QCSchema support and programmatic access to the parameter database. @awvwgk(GH#353) TeraChem - added the
TeraChemFrontEndHarnessto handle file I/O in extension to the protocol bufferTeraChemPBSHarnessinterface. @coltonbh
Enhancements
(GH#350) Rename the
compute(..., local_options)argument tocompute(..., task_config). Former still works and will for a while. @coltonbh(GH#361) testing - in standard suite, add references for Hartree–Fock density-fitten Hessians. @loriab
(GH#362) docs - update setup with theme and fuller information on Pydantic models. @loriab
(GH#363) CFOUR - learned not to set
DERIV_LEVELwhenatomicinput.driver=properties. Helps properties like DBOC. @loriab(GH#363) Allow directory structure in
execute(..., infiles)argument, not just flat-level files. @loriab(GH#364) CFOUR - learned to harvest gradients when ghost atoms involved. Any CFOUR job with ghost atoms involves a hack that may go amiss when Xenon atoms in target molecule. @loriab
(GH#364) NWChem - learned to handle keyword
geometry__autosymto tighten or loosen automatic symmetry detection. @loriab(GH#372) testing - 2022 OpenMopac now actively tested in GHA. Note fields and output slightly different since 2019 harness. @awvwgk, @loriab
Bug Fixes
(GH#301, GH#367) PyBerny - learned how to fail informatively when something goes wrong instead of assuming all is well and failing misleadingly while processing success. @coltonbh
(GH#333) NWChem - learned to skip writing the original
atomicinput.moleculegeometry to the input file only when both (1) the job is known to be part of a restart and (2) the job originates from the NWChem “driver” (that is, the optimizer). Previously, the geometry writing was skipped under (1) circumstances, so single-point e/g/h didn’t have a geometry to work from. @WardLT(GH#349) Turbomole - learned to correctly parse Hessian files when molecule contains more than 33 atoms. @eljost
Misc.
v0.23.0 / 2022-03-10
Enhancements
(GH#351) Torsiondrive procedure refactored to make it easier for users to implement a parallel version via subclassing and overwriting the _spawn_optimizations method. @jthorton
v0.22.0 / 2022-01-25
Bug Fixes
v0.21.0 / 2021-11-22
Enhancements
(GH#321) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem, Psi4, DFTD3, MP2D, gCP - learned to return certain native text files under control of the
native_filesprotocol. GAMESS users are strongly advised to at least setprotocols.native_files = "input"so that the job is reproducible. @loriab(GH#325) Torsiondrive - learned to use multiple molecules as input to torsiondrives. @jthorton
(GH#327) TorchANI - learned to use GPUs if available. @kexul
(GH#330, GH#332) NWChem - learned to restart from existing scratch if QCEngine is killed. @WardLT
v0.20.1 / 2021-10-08
Bug Fixes
(GH#322) Psi4 - allowed more test cases with gradients and Hessians after a compatibility PR started saving them. @loriab
(GH#323) Turbomole - learned to store calcinfo_natom so that gradients and Hessians can be computed after QCElemental started using that quantity for shape checking in [v0.22.0](https://github.com/MolSSI/QCElemental/blob/master/docs/source/changelog.rst#0220–2021-08-26) @eljost
v0.20.0 / 2021-10-01
New Features
(GH#305) TorsionDrive - new procedure to automate constrained optimizations along a geometry grid. Akin to the longstanding QCFractal TorsionDrive service. @SimonBoothroyd
Enhancements
(GH#307) NWChem - learns to automatically increase the number of iterations when SCF, CC, etc. fails to converge. @WardLT
(GH#309)
qcengine infolearned to print the location of found CMS programs, and geometric, OpenMM, and RDKit learned to return their versions. @loriab(GH#311) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem harnesses learned to notice which internal module performs a calc (e.g., tce/cc for NWChem) and to store it in
AtomicResult.provenance.module. Psi4 already does this. @loriab(GH#312) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem harnesses learned to run and harvest several new methods in the MP, CC, CI, DFT families. @loriab
(GH#316) Config -
TaskConfiglearned a new fieldscratch_messyto instruct aqcng.compute()run to not clean up the scratch directory at the end. @loriab(GH#316) GAMESS - harness learned to obey ncores and scratch_messy local_config options. When
ncores > 1, the memory option is partitioned into replicated and non after exetyp=check trials. @loriab(GH#316) Psi4 - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously off by a little (GB vs GiB). @loriab
(GH#316) CFOUR - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously off by a little. @loriab
(GH#316) NWChem - harness learned to obey scratch_messy and memory local_config options. Memory was previously very off for v7. @loriab
(GH#315) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem – learned to return in AtomicInput or program native orientation depending on fix_com & fix_orientation= T or F. Psi4 already did this. Previously these three always returned AtomicInput orientation. Note that when returning program native orientation, the molecule is overwritten, so AtomicResult is not a superset of AtomicInput. @loriab
(GH#315) CFOUR, GAMESS, NWChem – learned to harvest gradients and Hessians. @loriab
(GH#317) Docs - start “new harness” docs, so contributors have a coarse roadmap. @loriab
(GH#318) Docs - documentation is now served from https://molssi.github.io/QCEngine/ and built by https://github.com/MolSSI/QCEngine/blob/master/.github/workflows/CI.yml . https://qcengine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ will soon be retired. @loriab
(GH#320) CFOUR, NWChem – learned to run with ghost atoms, tentatively. @loriab

(GH#263) NWChem - learned how to turn off automatic Z-Matrix coordinates with
geometry__noautoz = True. @WardLT
Bug Fixes
v0.15.0 / 2020-06-26
New Features
(GH#232) PyBerny - new geometry optimizer procedure harness. @jhrmnn
(GH#238) Set up testing infrastructure, “stdsuite”, where method reference values and expected results names (e.g., total energy and correlation energy from MP2) are stored here in QCEngine but may be used from anywhere (presently, Psi4). Earlier MP2 and CCSD tests here converted to new scheme, removing
test_standard_suite_mp2.pyandccsd.(GH#249, GH#254) XTB - new harness for xtb-python that natively speaks QCSchema. @awvwgk
Enhancements
(GH#230) NWChem - improved dipole, HOMO, LUMO harvesting.

qcng.util.executelearned argumentexit_codeabove which to fail, rather than just!= 0.(GH#234) MDI - harness updated to support release verion v1.0.0 .
(GH#238) Cfour, GAMESS, NWChem – harnesses updated to collect available spin components for MP2 and CCSD. Also updated to set appropriate
qcel.models.AtomicPropertiesfrom collected QCVariables.(GH#239) OpenMM - OpenMM harness now looks for cmiles information in the molecule extras field when typing. Also we allow for the use of gaff forcefields. @jthorton
(GH#243) NWChem - more useful stdout error return.
(GH#244) Added CCSD(T), LCCD, and LCCSD reference data to stdsuite. @loriab
(GH#246) TorchANI - harness does not support v2 releases.
(GH#251) DFTD3 - added D3(0) and D3(BJ) parameters for PBE0-DH functional.
Bug Fixes
(GH#244) Psi4 - fixed bug in
extras["psiapi"] == Truemode where if calc failed, error not handled by QCEngine. @loriab(GH#245) Added missing import to sys for
test_standard_suite.py. @sjrl(GH#248) NWChem - fix HFexch specification bug.
Psi4 – QCFractal INCOMPLETE state bug https://github.com/MolSSI/QCEngine/issues/250 fixed by https://github.com/psi4/psi4/pull/1933 .

Bug Fixes
v0.11.0 / 2019-10-01
New Features
(GH#162) Adds a test to take advantage of Elemental’s Protocols. Although this PR does not technically change anything in Engine, bumping the minor version here allows upstream programs to note when this feature was available because the minimum version dependency on Elemental has been bumped as well.
Enhancements
(GH#143) Updates to Entos and Molpro to allow Entos to execute functions from the Molpro Harness. Also helps the two drivers to conform to GH#86.
(GH#145, GH#148) Initial CLI tests have been added to help further ensure Engine is running proper.
(GH#149) The GAMESS Harness has been improved by adding testing.
(GH#150, GH#153) TorchANI has been improved by adding a Hessian driver to it and additional information is returned in the
extrafield whenenergyis the driver. This also bumped the minimum version of TorchANI Engine supports from 0.5 to 0.9.(GH#154) Molpro’s harness has been improved to support
callinfo_Xproperties, unrestricted HF and DFT calculations, and the initial support for parsing local correlation calculations.(GH#158) Entos’ output parsing has been improved to read the json dictionary produced by the program directly. Also updates the input file generation.
(GH#161) Updates MOPAC to have more sensible quantum-chemistry like keywords by default.
Bug Fixes
v0.10.0 / 2019-08-25
New Features
(GH#132) Expands CLI for
info,run, andrun-procedureoptions.(GH#137) A new CI pipeline through Azure has been developed which uses custom, private Docker images to house non-public code which will enable us to test Engine through integrated CI on these codes securely.
(GH#140) GAMESS, CFOUR, NWChem preliminary implementations.
Enhancements
v0.9.0 / 2019-08-14
New Features
(GH#120) Engine now takes advantage of Elemental’s new Msgpack serialization option for Models. Serialization defaults to msgpack when available (
conda install msgpack-python [-c conda-forge]), falling back to JSON otherwise. This results in substantial speedups for both serialization and deserialization actions and should be a transparent replacement for users within Engine and Elemental themselves.
Enhancements
(GH#112) The
MolproHarnesshas been updated to handle DFT and CCSD(T) energies and gradients.(GH#116) An environment context manager has been added to catch NumPy style parallelization with Python functions.
(GH#117) MOPAC and DFTD3 can now accept an
extrasfield which can pass around additional data, conforming to the rest of the Harnesses.(GH#119) Small visual improvements to the docs have been made.
(GH#120) Lists inside models are now generally converted to numpy arrays for internal storage to maximize the benefit of the new Msgpack feature from Elemental.
(GH#133) The GAMESS Harness now collects the CCSD as part of its output.
Bug Fixes
v0.8.2 / 2019-07-25
Bug Fixes
(GH#114) Make compute and compute_procedure not have required kwargs while debugging a Fractal serialization issue. This is intended to be a temporary change and likely reverted in a later release
v0.8.1 / 2019-07-22
Enhancements
(GH#110) Psi4’s auto-retry exception handlers now catch more classes of random errors
Bug Fixes
(GH#109) Geometric auto-retry settings now correctly propagate through the base code.
v0.8.0 / 2019-07-19
New Features
Enhancements
(GH#94) The gradient and molecule parsed from a GAMESS calculation output file are now returned in
parse_output(GH#101) Enabled extra files in TeraChem scratch folder to be requested by users, collected after program execution, and recorded in the
Resultobject as extras.(GH#103) Random errors can now be retried a finite, controllable number of times (current default is zero retries). Geometry optimizations automatically set retries to 2. This only impacts errors which are categorized as
RandomErrorby QCEngine and all other errors are raised as normal.
Bug Fixes
v0.7.1 / 2019-06-18
Bug Fixes
(GH#92) Added an
__init__.pyfile to theprograms/testsdirectory so they are correctly bundled with the package.
v0.7.0 / 2019-06-17
Breaking Changes
(GH#85) The resource file
programs.dftd3.dashparam.pyhas relocated and renamed toprograms.empirical_dispersion_resources.py.(GH#89) Function
util.executeforgot str argumentscratch_locationand learnedscratch_directoryin the same role of existing directory within which temporary directories are created and cleaned up. Non-user-facing functionutil.scratch_directoryrenamed toutil.temporary_directory.
New Features
(GH#60) WIP: QCEngine interface to GAMESS can run the program (after light editing of rungms) and parse selected output (HF, CC, FCI) into QCSchema.
(GH#73) WIP: QCEngine interface to CFOUR can run the program and parse a variety of output into QCSchema.
(GH#59, GH#71, GH#75, GH#76, GH#78, GH#88) Molpro improvements: Molpro can be run by QCEngine; and the input generator and output parser now supports CCSD energy and gradient calculations. Large thanks to @sjrl for many of the improvements
(GH#69) Custom Exceptions have been added to QCEngine’s returns which will make parsing and diagnosing them easier and more programmatic for codes which invoke QCEngine. Thanks to @dgasmith for implementation.
(GH#82) QCEngine interface to entos can create input files (dft energy and gradients), run the program, and parse the output.
(GH#85) MP2D interface switched to upstream repo (https://github.com/Chandemonium/MP2D v1.1) and now produces correct analytic gradients.
Enhancements
(GH#62, GH#67, GH#83) A large block of TeraChem improvements thanks to @ffangliu contributions. Changed the input parser to call qcelemental to_string method with bohr unit, improved output of parser to turn stdout into Result, and modified how version is parsed.
(GH#63) QCEngine functions
util.which,util.which_version,util.parse_version, andutil.safe_versionremoved after migrating to QCElemental.(GH#65) Torchani can now handle the ANI1-x and ANI1-ccx models. Credit to @dgasmith for implementation
(GH#74) Removes caching and reduces pytorch overhead from Travis CI. Credit to @dgasmith for implementation
(GH#77) Rename
ProgramExecutortoProgramHarnessandBaseProceduretoProcedureHarness.(GH#77) Function
util.execute(..., outfiles=[])learned to collect output files matching a globbed filename.(GH#81) Function
util.executelearned list argumentas_binaryto handle input or output files as binary rather than string.(GH#81) Function
util.executelearned bool argumentscratch_exist_okto run in a preexisting directory. This is handy for stringing together execute calls.(GH#84) Function
util.executelearned str argumentscratch_suffixto identify temp dictionaries for debugging.(GH#90) DFTD3 now supports preliminary parameters for zero and Becke-Johnson damping to use with SAPT0-D
Bug Fixes
(GH#80) Fix “psi4:qcvars” handling for older Psi4 versions.
v0.6.4 / 2019-03-21
Bug Fixes
(GH#54) Psi4’s Engine implementation now checks its key words in a case insensitive way to give the same value whether you called Psi4 or Engine to do the compute.
(GH#55) Fixed an error handling routine in Engine to match Psi4.
(GH#56) Complex inputs are now handled better through Psi4’s wrapper which caused Engine to hang while trying to write to
stdout.
v0.6.3 / 2019-03-15
New Features
Enhancements
(GH#46)
dftd3’s workings received an overhaul. Themolkeyword has been replaced withdtype=2, full Psi4 support is now provided, and an MP2D interface has been added.
Bug Fixes
(GH#50 and GH#51) Executing Psi4 on a single node with multiprocessing is more stable because Psi4 temps are moved to scratch directories. This behavior is now better documented with an example as well.
(GH#52) Psi4 calls are now executed through the
subprocessmodule to prevent possible multiprocessing issues and memory leak after thousands of runs. A trade off is this adds about 0.5 seconds to task start-up, but its safe. A future Psi4 release will correct this issue and the change can be reverted.
v0.6.2 / 2019-03-07
Enhancements
(GH#38 and GH#39) Documentation now pulls from the custom QC Archive Sphinx Theme, but can fall back to the standard RTD theme. This allows all docs across QCA to appear consistent with each other.
(GH#43) Added a base model for all
Procedureobjects to derive from. This allows procedures’ interactions with compute programs to be more unified. This PR also ensured GeomeTRIC provides Provenance information.
Bug Fixes
(GH#40) This PR improved numerous back-end and testing quality of life aspects. Fixed
setup.pyto callpytestinstead ofunittestwhen running tests on install. Some conda packages for Travis-CI are cached to reduce the download time of the larger computation codes. Psi4 is now pinned to the 1.3 version to fix build-level pin of libint. Conda-build recipe removed to avoid possible confusion for everyone who isn’t a Conda-Forge recipe maintainer. Tests now rely exclusively on theconda envsetups.
v0.6.1 / 2019-02-20
Bug Fixes
(GH#37) Fixed an issue where RDKit methods were not case agnostic.
v0.6.0 / 2019-02-28
Breaking Changes
(GH#36) breaking change Model objects are returned by default rather than a dictionary.
New Features
(GH#18) Add the
dftd3program to available computers.(GH#29) Adds preliminary support for the
Molprocompute engine.(GH#31) Moves all computation to
ProgramExecutorto allow for a more flexible input generation, execution, output parsing interface.(GH#32) Adds a general
executeprocess which safely runs subprocess jobs.
