Peter: interesting question, since obviously I have no idea when the
release will be either! Nevertheless, I think we will be ready.

Michel: we are working on an improved and expanded conformational free
energy module, which among other things will have a metadynamics
feature. We'll do all we can to make sure it gets into the next
release. Whenever that is ;-)

Cheers,
Jerome
