DOI:10.5281/zenodo.168390 This release of PIConGPU, implements full multi-species support for an arbitrary number of particle species and refactors our main I/O to be formatted as openPMD (see http://openPMD.org). Several major features have been implemented and stabilized, highlights include refactored ADIOS support (including checkpoints), a classical radiation reaction pusher (based on the work of M. Vranic/IST), parallel particle-IDs, generalized on-the-fly particle creation, advanced field ionization schemes and unification of plugin and file names. This is our last C++98 compatible release (for CUDA 5.5-7.0). Upcoming releases will be C++11 only (CUDA 7.5+), which is already supported in this release, too. Please refer to CHANGELOG.md [1] for a full list of features, fixes and user interface changes. Thank you to Axel Huebl, René Widera, Alexander Grund, Richard Pausch, Heiko Burau, Alexander Debus, Marco Garten, Benjamin Worpitz, Erik Zenker, Frank Winkler, Carlchristian Eckert, Stefan Tietze, Benjamin Schneider, Maximilian Knespel and Michael Bussmann for contributions to this release! Starting with this release we will also sign our git release tags [2]. This release is tagged with "0.2.0" with an additional tag "beta" used as an alias pointing to the same version of the code [3]. You can now check out these tags or our mainline branch "master" (via git) and start using it today!
