[v2.14.0] - 2026-XX-XX

Trajectory output gets a first-class metadata format and NEB gets a real batched force path. readcon-core now ships a per-frame metadata channel so minimization, saddle-search, and NEB movies carry the per-iteration state they previously scattered across sidecar .dat files; the legacy tables remain behind an opt-in flag. pARTn’s filin namelist input is finally exposed to the [ARTn] section so users can point at an artn.in file without patching sources. Parallel image evaluation learns to batch potential calls across images instead of forking one thread per image, and a threading regression that had crept into the shared-instance path for legacy Fortran potentials is fixed.
