[DFTB-Plus-User] xTB and Electron Dynamics: implemented?

[Ricardo Faccio]

Dear all

I successfully run a dftb+ calculation with xTB, scf and geometry 
optimization. Now I want to proceed with an electron dynamics 
calculations but it ends with the following error:

#####

    ERROR!
    -> SCC calculations are currently required for dynamics
    ERROR STOP

######

The input file is copied below, that previously run succesfully with 
Hamiltonian = DFTB. Could it be that "ElectronDynamics" is not 
implemented in xTB?

Thanks

Ricardo
