Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.2.3" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.291794

This release fixes energy density output, minor openPMD issues, corrects
a broken species manipulator to derive density weighted particle
distributions, fixes a rounding issue in ionization routines that can
cause simulation corruption for very small particle weightings and
allows the moving window to start immediately with timestep zero. For
ionization input, we now verify that the number of arguments in the
input table matches the ion species' proton number.

All fixes are backported to work in C++98 (and C++11) mode.

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

Thanks to Axel Huebl, René Widera, Richard Pausch, Alexander Debus,
Marco Garten, Heiko Burau and Thomas Kluge for spotting the issues and
providing fixes!

You can now check out the 0.2.3 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
