Support for ambertools23

xiki-tempula opened this issue · 5 comments

ambertools23 has been there for a year now and we are interested in using some new options from the ambertools23 which are not available in ambertools22. I wonder if it is possible for openmmforcefields to release a version that supports ambertools23? Thanks.

I don't think this is currently being worked on #280

Release 0.13.0 (upcoming today with some luck, next week otherwise) drops GAFF support but allows AmberTools 23 to be installed alongside it

0.13.0 has been release! Let us know if you have any questions or issues!

When ambertools24 is released, will it be a easy update?

At installation time (i.e. if only using it for charges with SMIRNOFFTemplateGenerator1): probably, but hard to predict until it's built

For bringing back GAFFTemplateGenerator: shouldn't be harder than the current effort (#280) but can't be sure until it's tried

Footnotes

  1. If using this package is only to get OpenMM objects from SMIRNOFF force fields, Interchange is probably a better option
