All,

This e-mail is to announce the availability of the 2024.10 OPM Flow release.  
Binary packages are available in OPM's PPA (personal package archives), 
ppa:opm/ppa.  If you have not already enabled this PPA in your package sources 
you can do so through the following two commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:opm/ppa
sudo apt update

The 2024.10 OPM Flow release supports the following two Ubuntu LTS versions

  *
22.04 LTS (codename Jammy Jellyfish)
  *
24.04 LTS (codename Noble Numbat)

Binary packages are also available for RHEL 8 thanks to Arne Morten Kvarving.  
This is greatly appreciated.  If you wish to build the release manually on your 
own system you can check out the release/2024.10 branch at tag 
release/2024.10/final.

This release has seen work in many areas, but the most visible change to users 
is the addition of several new summary vectors to help analyse CO2 storage 
processes. These were largely motivated by the 11th SPE Comparative Solutions 
Project which studies such processes at both lab and field scale. I would also 
like to thank the accelerator/GPU developers for their contributions to making 
this release more amenable to such hardware. More such work is expected in 
future release. There has also been a lot of effort put into improving the 
default settings for the simulator's linear and non-linear solvers as well as 
improvements to the non-linear domain decomposition method.

Some additional highlights of the release are

  *
Support for the 'ALL' flag in item 4 of PINCH
  *
Support for parallel partitioning using the METIS software in addition to the 
existing Zoltan package
  *
Proper handling of the WHISTCTL in restarted simulations

Further highlights and more complete changelogs are in the GitHub release pages 
for this release
