Dear PIConGPU-Users,


I am honored to present you on behalf of all PIConGPU developers the
"0.4.2" release of PIConGPU. DOI:10.5281/zenodo.1491926

This release fixes a performance regression for energy histograms and phase space plugins on CPU with our OpenMP backend. At least OpenMP 3.1 is needed to benefit from this. Additionally, several small documentation issues have been fixed and the energy histogram python tool forgot to return the first iteration.

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

Thanks to Axel Huebl, René Widera, Sebastian Starke, and Marco Garten for contributions to this release!

You can now check out the 0.4.2 tag [2] or our mainline branch "master"
(via git) and start using it today!


Best regards,
Axel Huebl
