versions 2, 3 and 4 (version 4 is basically version 3 with BJ damping) are implemented.

As DFT-D correction is the same for all electronic states provided the nuclear geometry is the same, it does not affect vertical excitation energies and in particular TDDFT spectra.

>One more question is about SMD solvation model. Tests (including published ones) show it is better than conventional C-PCM and as fast and numerically stable as C-PCM. If you are planning to implement some up-to-date continuum solvation model, you may opt to SMD.
