Release 3.2.1

Breaking/Parameter changes

• 1D/2D/2.5D (axisymmetric) simulations: The particle tracking has been simplified for symmetric simulation cases, significantly reducing the computational duration for certain applications. In the future, the boundary conditions in the symmetry dimension shall be identified as symmetric_dim. The documentation in Section "Symmetric Simulations" has been updated accordingly.

Documentation/Tools/Regression testing

• Updated list of contributors
• Update species-specific timestep description in the user guide + fix Symmetry2DAxisymmetric parameter error [5a0be35]

Improvements

• Real 1D and 2D tracking for symmetric simulations [5a0be35]

Fixes

• Fixed non-initialized arrays in ChangeArraySize routine [a3a8df6]
• Fixed inconsistency in cross-section based reactions, where the energy check was relativistic but not the actual energy balance, leading to negative collision energies, when the energy is very close to the required reaction energy [a3a8df6]
• Fixed MPI communication of dielectric permittivity at dielectric <-> vacuum interfaces (Maxwell solver) [9b1aa67]
• Fixed the read-in of dollar symbol variables in combination with load balancing [7f5b947]
