GAMESS version October 1, 2010 R1

[Brett Bode]

Hello everyone,
GAMESS version October 1, 2010 R1 is available on the normal web
site. The primary changes in this release include:

The EFP solvation program has been extended to TD-DFT gradients. The
PCM solvation program has been extended to open shell MP2 gradients.
The COSMO solvation program has been extensively revamped, and works
for RHF, UHF, and ROHF references at the HF, DFT, and MP2 levels.
Relativistic codes added are the Infinite Order Two Component
tranformation for scalar effects, and the ability to generate the
density matrix and properties for spin-orbit coupled states, along
with a much wider range of Model Core Potential basis sets. TDDFT
excitation energies can now use all available metaGGA functionals. The
semi-empirical RM1 parameterization has been added. FMO changes
include the EFMO method (a merger of EFP and FMO) and more accurate
gradient calculation. A very efficient resolution of the identity
approximation for RHF or UHF based MP2 calculations is added. A
special program for integral evaluation and closed shell Fock matrix
construction on GPUs is provided, and support for compilation under
Windows.
