Hello everyone!
This is ASPECT newsletter #233.
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:
#6884: Modify documentation for stress compositional field names (implemented by alarshi)
#6883: Add Viscosity Limit to Reactive Fluid Transport (implemented by danieldouglas92)
#6882: Prescribed Solution Post-processor (WIP) (implemented by lhy11009)
#6881: Check parameter documentation in CI (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6880: Better parameter documentation view (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6879: www: remove parameter website (implemented by tjhei; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6878: remove generation of parameters.xml / website feature (implemented by tjhei; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6877: work around deal.II memory leak (implemented by tjhei)
#6876: Bump actions/upload-artifact from 6 to 7 (implemented by dependabot[bot]; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6875: Simplify newton solver logic (implemented by gassmoeller)
#6873: Adds new publications (implemented by ljhwang)
#6872: Fix some unit descriptions and documentation (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6871: [WIP] Make sure that the compositional fields are mapped to the correct particle properties (implemented by YiminJin)
#6870: Let SimulatorAccess store an observer pointer to Simulator. (implemented by bangerth)
#6869: Better describe the rationale of the SimulatorAccess base class. (implemented by bangerth; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6868: Remove a comment that is not actually true. (implemented by bangerth; reviewed by tjhei)
#6867: Fix a typo in a comment. (implemented by quangx; reviewed by bangerth)
#6866: [WIP, request for feedback] Update gwb to version 1.1 (implemented by MFraters)
#6865: Refactor GMG global coarsening code so it uses the same block stokes preconditioning class as AMG and GMG local smoothing. (implemented by quangx; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6864: PythonHelper: follow-up fixes (implemented by tjhei; reviewed by bangerth)
#6862: Disable unnecessary MPI warnings in Ubuntu 22.04 docker containers (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by tjhei)
#6861: Improve comments in advection assemblers (implemented by gassmoeller; reviewed by gassmoeller)
#6806: Create SchurApproximation class so BlockSchurPreconditioner can be used for both AMG and GMG. (implemented by quangx; reviewed by tjhei)
