v2023.6.28

• Use lru_cache to speed up get_el_sp by 400x (@v1kko).
• Related to lru_cache of get_el_sp, Species.properties is now deprecated in favor of setting Species(spin=5). The rationale is
  that spin is the only supported property for Species anyway. Species and DummySpecies is now mostly immutable, i.e., setting specie.spin = 5 have no effect. This is as intended since the first version of pymatgen.

v2023.06.23

We're pleased to ship the latest and greatest Pymatgen v2023.06.23 today! 🎉 👨‍💻 🌮

Besides squashing many bugs, we give you a brand new Molecule.relax() [code] courtesy of @arosen93 in #3044 to match the existing but now matGL-M3GNet-powered Structure.relax() [code].

What's more, we have some shiny new (Structure|Molecule).calculate() [code] methods for single-point ASE calculations if you just want a quick energy estimate for example:

from pymatgen.core import Lattice, Structure

structure = Structure(
    lattice=Lattice.cubic(2.8),
    species=("Fe", "Fe"),
    coords=((0, 0, 0), (0.5, 0.5, 0.5)),
)
print(f"M3GNet energy={structure.calculate().calc.results['energy'][0]:.4} eV")
>>> M3GNet energy=-16.84 eV

v2023.5.8

❗ The Yb_2 deprecation release ❗

This release changes the Ytterbium (Yb) pseudo-potential (PSP) from Yb_2 to Yb_3 for all PBE_54 VASP input sets.

Background: The A-lab revealed that as a result of using Yb_2 the energy on Yb compounds is off by a lot, resulting in supposedly stable things being unsynthesizable. While an unfortunate mistake, it's also great to see how experiment can help surface simulation errors.

On pre-PBE_54 input sets, we now issue a warning that Yb_2 will give bad results for most systems since Yb is most often in oxidation state Yb3+.

Reason: The better fix Yb_3 only became available in the PBE_54 PSP set. Requiring it on pre-PBE_54 input sets would mean you can't run Yb compounds.

For more details see #2968 and #2969.
