How to get DOS for each iteration?

Do any DFT codes (for example, QE ABINIT, Fleur, ....) provide the availability of getting the DOS that produced by each iteration? If no, so, how can I get them? Thanks in advance!

Recommended code to do XAS/XES/RIXS calculations with?

I am a grad student looking to simulate several XAS/XES and potentially RIXS spectra for some strongly correlated metal-oxides. The materials in question will likely require solving the Bethe-Salpeter ...
