[gmx-users] gmx3.20beta1

Hi all-
just wanted to test gmx3.20beta1
I tried an .mdp file that works fine with gmx3,14 and 3.15beta1
but I got this error message running grompp on it:

Fatal error: not enough annealing values: 1 (for 2 groups)

now i am not doing any annealing just md with temp and pressure coupling
and there are 2 temperature groups each with its own coupling defined
Any ideas? Thanks
marco
