Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (2025-01) for VeloxChem/VeloxChem delivered a substantial upgrade to Hessian-based workflows, expanded charge and dispersion physics, and strengthened quality and reliability across the codebase. The team focused on enhancing SCF Hessian accuracy with nuclei-point charges and van der Waals contributions, expanding molecule/solvation modeling, and improving CI/test coverage to support broader Hessian validation. These changes enable more accurate vibrational analyses, more robust optimization, and easier ongoing maintenance as the project scales.
