Hello everyone!
This is ASPECT newsletter #144.
It automatically reports recently merged features and discussions about the ASPECT mantle convection code.
Below you find a list of recently proposed or merged features:
#4471: Use stress averaging in tests where required (implemented by anne-glerum)
#4470: Add geometric average only viscosity operation (implemented by jdannberg; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4469: use the hydrostatic pressure for thermodynamic lookup (implemented by jdannberg)
#4468: add steinberger cookbook (implemented by jdannberg)
#4467: Adds first publication of the year to the publication list (implemented by ljhwang)
#4465: Do not create unnecessary failing assembler for compressible Newton models with full A block preconditioner (implemented by gassmoeller)
#4464: fix periodic boundary conditions in compressible models (implemented by jdannberg; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4463: removed name from contributors (implemented by bobmyhill; reviewed by gassmoeller)

#4455: rename master to main inside repo (implemented by tjhei; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4454: Matrix-free free surface stabilization (implemented by zjiaqi2018)
#4451: Allow steinberger model to be used with projected density (implemented by jdannberg; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4450: Do not apply boundary conditions to projected density field (implemented by jdannberg; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4434: Adjust max_visc and min_visc in the visco_plastic module to vectors of phases (implemented by lhy11009; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#4427: Replace FEValues by FEPointEvaluation where useful (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by anne-glerum)
#4422: fix Newton compressible terms. (implemented by MFraters; reviewed by gassmoeller)
