Pre-release version 1.13 allows dissimilar sphere diameters in the RPM and hard sphere potentials
The current release is version 1.12.
Version 1.12 adds direct calculation of HNC free energy (see documentation).
Version 1.11 fixes another bug: missing mean-field contribution to thermodynamics for off-SYM RPM potential.
Version 1.10 fixes a bug: missing contact virial pressure contribution in the HNC free energy.
Version 1.9 brings the source code up to modern FORTRAN standards and corrects a problem with EXP in v1.8.
Version 1.8 includes the MSA closure and various potentials for Slater smeared charges.
Version 1.7 handles an arbitrary number of components (rather than a maximum of three, as for previous versions).
- FORTRAN 90 based, with example python driver scripts;
- HNC, MSA, RPA, and EXP closures;
- fast Ng solver, and Ng decomposition for long range potentials;
- multicomponent (arbitrary number of components);
- hard core (RPM-like) and soft core (DPD-like) potentials;
- full structural thermodynamics;
- fully open source.
See PDF documentation for details.

The main code is written as a FORTRAN 90 module, and can be compiled
using gfortran from the GNU compiler
collection. A basic Makefile is
provided. The code is designed to be run from python using the f2py
interface from SciPy, though
some examples of 'vanilla' FORTRAN 90 driver codes are included. The
default target in the Makefile builds the required files for the
f2py interface.
The LAPACK linear algebra library and FFTW fast Fourier transform library are both required.
The compiler tools including f2py, and pre-built versions of the
lapack and fftw libraries, are available for most modern GNU/Linux
distributions.
