Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.2.4" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.346005

This release fixes a severe bug overestimating the charge of ions
when used with the `boundElectrons` attribute for field ionization.
For HDF5 and ADIOS output, the openPMD axis annotation for fields in
simulations with non-cubic cells or moving window was interchanged.
Assigning particle manipulators within a position selection was
rounded to the closest supercell (`IfRelativeGlobalPositionImpl`).

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 0.2.4 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
