The gmxapi Python package 0.4.0rc1 is bundled in the python_packaging directory, and is also now available as a pre-release when you use the --pre option to pip. See gmxapi ยท PyPI and https://manual.gromacs.org/2023-rc1/gmxapi/userguide/install.html#install-the-latest-version-of-gmxapi
The most noticeable changes for 0.4 are related to compatibility and build system support. gmxapi now fully supports MPI-enabled gromacs installations, and attempts to fairly distribute resources to ensemble simulations. See https://manual.gromacs.org/2023-rc1/gmxapi/userguide/usage.html#notes-on-parallelism-and-mpi for more information.
mpi4py is now a required Python package for building and running gmxapi as an aid to compatibility and error checking in resource assignment.
