[phenixbb] phenix.refine v.1.3 vs 1.24

[Leo Sazanov]

Hi Pavel,
Thanks for suggestions. I tried riding hydrogens and weight 
optimizations - they didn't change things significantly.
I'll wait for version without automatic weight adjustments to see if the 
reason for difference between the versions might become clearer.
Are there any plans for when it might be released?
Regards,
Leo
