In this release we have added thousands of new band structure and density of states calculations, improving our overall material coverage and data quality. Additionally, we have overhauled the plotting for these quantities on the material details page. This is a first step in improving the electronic structure data within the Materials Project as part of our new tool set for band structure calculations. We are also working through an on-going issue affecting the energies of a small number of materials. More info in our release logs.

We've added several thousand materials including many magnetic ground states, improved the accuracy of our energetics, and fixed several bugs. This database release is part of on-going efforts in 2020 to improve database reliability and quality, following the introduction of our deprecation process last year. More info.
