Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.2.2" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.229880

This release fixes a broken laser profile (wavepacket), allows to use
icc as the host compiler, fixes a bug when writing openPMD files in
simulations without particle species ("vacuum") and a problem with GPU
device selection on shared node usage via CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES.

Please refer to our CHANGELOG.md [1] for a full list of features, fixes
and user interface changes.

Thanks to René Widera and Richard Pausch for spotting the issues and
providing fixes for this release!

You can now check out the 0.2.2 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
