ultrasoft pseudo potentials supported from EPW v5.1 on?

Hello,

I just read in the QE v6.4 change log that EPW now supports USPP. Are there any restrictions when using USPP (e.g. some quantities can't be calculated while others can)?
I noticed that EPW v5.0 doesn't complain if USPP are used. Does it mean that v5.0 already supports USPP?

Btw.: In ephwann:shuffle.f90 right in the beginning (line 21) is says: " !! No ultrasoft now"
I'm confused. Does EPW support USPP or not? ;) Or was this line left there unintentionally? Same statement is also found in createkmap.f90, ephwann_shuffle_mem.f90 and gmap_sym.f90.

Hi,

Yes, EPW5.1 supports USPP, but it has not been extensively tested.

The lines "No ultrasoft now" should be removed from all files.

Best,
Roxana

Dear MaxS,

Thanks for noticing those 4 comments lines.
I removed them (indeed leftover).

EPW 5.0 does not support USPP.

Best wishes,
Samuel
