recent changes in CP2K

Hello,

I am currently testing the xtb2 implementation in CP2k (version 2026.2) via tblite.

Upon creating input files with the latest download release of multiwfn I became aware that
it does not take the latest syntax changes of CP2k into account.
Essentially all jobs aiming at cell optimisation with xtb2 (via tblite) will fail, because there
are changes in syntax style.

As far as I can see the
TYPE DIRECT_CELL_OPT #Geometry and cell are optimized at the same time. Can also be GEO_OPT, MD
is not supported by CP2k any longer and instead of

&QS
    METHOD xTB
      &xTB
        &TBLITE
          METHOD GFN2
        &END TBLITE
      &END xTB
    &END QS

it should be:

&QS
     METHOD xTB
  &XTB
    GFN_TYPE TBLITE
    SCC_MIXER AUTO
    &TBLITE
      METHOD GFN2
      ACCURACY 1.0
    &END TBLITE
  &END XTB

  It would be great if you could include these changes in the next multiwfn release, which is really great for
setting up input files for CP2k !

Thank you very much in advance, Dirk

Sorry for the repeated request, but there is still a remaining issue with the input generated by multiwfn:
