 Dear CCL subscribers,
The Amsterdam Density Functional package (ADF) is a premium quality
 software package for quantum chemistry and materials science research
 using Density Functional Theory (DFT).
 ADF offers various spectroscopic properties and environment models
 for almost any molecule, and excels at transition metal and heavy
 element compounds.
Scientific Computing & Modelling N.V. (SCM) proudly announces the
 release of version ADF2008, including the following enhancements:
 * Improved geometry optimization and transition state search, now
 default
 * Dispersion-corrected GGA XC functionals (Grimme)
* For periodic structures in BAND: transition state search, numerical
 frequencies, ESR A-tensor and g-tensor, M06-L and TPSS forces,
 visualization of (partial) DOS
 * New COSMO-RS module: QM prediction of chemical engineering
 thermodynamics for fluids
 * DFTB module: fast density functional tight binding program
 * Ultrafast Bader AIM atomic properties
 * Magnetizability, polarizabilities at resonance
* Check the release notes for various other enhancements: http-:-//
