Multiplied Linear response?

Dear Sir:
The problem I recently ran into is quite simple.
I used the same database generated by QE(i.e. .save folder), the same yambo_BSE.in configurations, but different versions: yambo-4.2.2 and yambo-4.3.2.
The result in 'o-2D_WR_WC.eps_q1_diago_bse' is different in magnitude, but the shape are very close to each other. The ratio is approximately 1.165 x 10 ^ (7).
Is there some changes related to this, between these two versions ?
Thanks a lot
yambo_BSE.in is here

Dear Yadong Wei,
yes, as you have observed we have changed the way to compute q->0 limit only when using a cutoff coulomb potential, so 2D/1D/0D structure.
In this case the epsilon it is not well defined and we think this is the correct way to proceed in order to have consistencies. The interpretation of such small numbers is that considering your system as 3D it is essentially vacuum. Note that it is just a constant so you can multiply by a factor in order to recover the previous result. We will change this anyway soon in order to relate the spectrum to the experimental observables, in the meantime you can just multiply it for a factor (considering that absorption is given in arbitrary units).

Best,
Daniele
