Rather than piping selections via stdin, -selections are now made using the "-sel" option. +selections are now made using the "-sel" option. There is a new option called ``-maxtau``, +which limits maximum time delta between frames to compare for calculating MSDs. This will allow +users who otherwise would run into out-of-memory errors and slow execution with large systems +to restrict sampling to useful tau values. This migration comes with about a 20% speedup in execution time. -TODO: Modify/Delete this segment as features are added back in. Some rarely used features have yet to be migrated, including: -- Mass weighting of MSDs cannot currently be turned on or off. It is set to on when -mol is set, otherwise off. - The -tensor option is not yet implemented. - System COM removal with -rmcomm has not yet been implemented. - B-factor writing using the -pdb option is not yet supported. +A slight behavior change is the removal of the -mw option. ``gmx msd`` with ``-mol`` will +take the MSD of the center-of-mass of of molecules, while no mass-weighting is done +when ``-mol`` is not selected. In previous |Gromacs| versions, ``-mw`` was on by default, +and ``-nomw`` was silently ignored when ``-mol`` was chosen. This change will only cause +different results when performing MSD calculations on a non-homogenous group of particles without +``-mol`` set. + :issue:`2368` ``gmx chi`` no longer needs ``residuetypes.dat`` entries for custom residues
