Dear DuMuX-users,

today is another important day in the history of DuMuX. We are happy to 
announce,
that the 2.4 version of DuMuX is now available. Hopefully you profit from the
changes. We recommend to change to the current version.

You can download the tarball from
http://www.dumux.org/download/

Alternatively, and particularly if you want to develop within the
DuMuX module directory, you can svn-checkout the release branch:
svn checkout --username=anonymous --password=''
svn://svn.iws.uni-stuttgart.de/DUMUX/dumux/branches/release-2.4  dumux
Below you find the most important changes.

Notable Differences Between DuMuX 2.3 and DuMuX 2.4
================================================================================
Note: For the detailed description of changes in the DuMuX-2.4 release please
see the CHANGELOG.

   - Three geomechanics models have been added, thanks to the previous PhD work
     of Melanie Darcis. The models are located in dumux/geomechanics, a test for
     each model is provided in test/geomechanics:
     . elastic: linear elasticity equations that account only for the solid
                mechanics.
     . el1p2c:  poroelasticity equations for one solid and one fluid phase, 
where
                the fluid phase is admitted to consist of two components.
     . el2p:    poroelasticity equations for one solid phase and two immiscible
                fluid phases.

   - A three-dimensional implementation of the MPFA L-method is added and made
     available for the decoupled 2p models. It also allows for simulation on
     an adaptive grid.

   - The MPNC model now allows to drop the assumptions of local thermal and/or
     chemical equilibrium. Dropping the local chemical equilibrium assumption
     leads to mole fractions in different phases that are not determined via
     equilibrium relations. If the local thermal equilibrium assumption is
     dropped, phases (fluids and solid) are locally allowed to have different
     temperatures. See test/implicit/mpnc/test_boxmpnckinetic for an example.

Have a lot of fun and best regards,
Alexander Kissigner (DuMuX 2.4 Release Manager)
