Hi Leo,

I don't have the exact date, but I think it will appear sometime soon 
once I make this and a few other fixes.
If you run automatic weight optimization then it will skip that weight 
adjustment and it will try to find the best weight by optimizing the 
Rfree. Use "optimize_wxc=true" or/and "optimize_wxu=true" keywords for this.

Cheers,
Pavel.
