GW including spin orbit coupling?

It has been reported in Phys. Rev. B 75, 235102 (2007) that GW calculations including a full treatment of SO coupling were not possible using VASP. I wonder if it is now implemented in VASP.5.X? Thank you very much!

SOI under GW is in VASP.5 implemented.

Very thanks for your reply! I still have some questions.
Could you show me how the SOI included in the GW calculations? Is it just include the SOI for the initial standard DFT calculations?
