Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.3.1" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.1034086

This release fixes the energy field plugin diagnostics and the
"downramp" parameter of the pre-defined Gaussian density profile.
Restarts with enabled background fields were fixed. Numerous
improvements to our build system were added to deal more gracefully with
co-existing system-wide default libraries. A stability issue due to an
illegal memory access in the PMacc event system was fixed.

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

Thanks to Axel Huebl, Richard Pausch and René Widera for contributions
to this release!

You can now check out the 0.3.1 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
