 +
 +== Infrastructure changes and fixes ==
 +  * Changed all references to ifort etc. to ifx etc from [[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/overview.html|Intel oneAPI]]; ifort is not supported from oneAPI 2025. DIRAC will still compile with ifort.
 +     * Contributor: H. J. Aa. Jensen
 +  * Made all necessary changes for [[https://developer.nvidia.com/hpc-compilers|Nvidia’s NVHPC compilers]] (previously known as PGI compilers).

 +     * Contributor: H. J. Aa. Jensen

 +== Bugfixes ==
 +
 +  * Fix of symmetry problem for KRMCSCF with LUCIAREL and odd number of electrons.

 +  * Changes and corrections in the definition of one-electron operators "\beta\gamma^5" and "i \beta \alpha".
 +     * One-electron operator type ZiBETAAL was not defined properly in previous code versions. From now on, it is replaced by ZBETAALP and represents the operator "i \beta \alpha_z".
 +     * In previous code versions, the one-electron operator types XiBETAAL and YiBETAAL represented "i \beta \alpha_x" and "i \beta \alpha_y", respectively. From now on, they are replaced by the operator types XBETAALP and YBETAALP, respectively.
 +     * New one-electron operator type BETAGAMMA5 available, representing the time-symmetric operator "\beta\gamma^5". Please note that the operator type iBETAGAMMA5 was already implemented in DIRAC and it also points to "\beta\gamma^5, but with the assignments of time-reversal antisymmetry.
 +     * For more details, please check the manual: `One-electron operators <https://www.diracprogram.org/doc/release-25/manual/one_electron_operators.html#one-electron-operators>`__.
 +     * Contributor: I. A. Aucar.
 +  * Set the correct sign of CC linear and quadratic response functions in the case of more than one time-antisymmetric perturbation operator

 +  * More robust symmetry handling for *KRCI calculations
 +    * Contributor: H. J. Aa. Jensen
