Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.3.0" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.810041

This is the first release of PIConGPU requiring C++11. We added a newly
developed current solver (EmZ), support for the generation of
Bremsstrahlung, Thomas-Fermi Ionization, Laguerre-modes in the
Gaussian-Beam laser, in-simulation plane for laser initialization, new
plugins for in situ visualization (ISAAC), a generalized particle
calorimeter and a GPU resource monitor. Initial support for clang (host
and device) has been added and our documentation has been streamlined to
use Sphinx from now on.

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

We also started continuous documentation ("a manual") with Sphinx:

https://picongpu.readthedocs.io

This page will in the mid time frame replace our wiki and will allow you
to select a specific version of PIConGPU. Such a "release-aware
documentation" is important to us since our tools, workflows and models
naturally change over time (for the better). Also, you can contribute to
it via pull requests!

Thanks to Axel Huebl, René Widera, Richard Pausch, Alexander Matthes,
Alexander Grund, Marco Garten, Heiko Burau, Alexander Debus, Erik
Zenker, Bifeng Lei and Klaus Steiniger for contributions to this release!

You can now check out the 0.3.0 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
