Release Notes: This version can read mesh files exported by the mesh generation programs CUBIT and EZ4U, and introduces kinematic fault sources, heterogeneous coefficients for anistropic media, absorbing boundaries with arbitrary orientation, and Gaussian source time function and pre-processing utilities to compute critical time steps. Bugs are fixed in time-weakening friction and handling of fault tip nodes of single-sided faults.

Release Notes: This version introduces the following features for dynamic faults: more stable curved elements for non-planar faults with smooth normal, cohesion in fault strength, more options in time-weakening fronts for rupture nucleation, enabled time-weakening in combination with rate-and-state-dependent friction, and easier setting of the fault zone viscosity layer. In addition, the flexibility of the Matlab mesh generation tools was enhanced.

Release Notes: This version introduces useful features for dynamic faults: smooth mesh generation for fault surfaces, instantaneous healing in slip-weakening friction, optional suppression of fault opening, easy tagging of near-fault elements, separate output of initial values, and cohesive normal response. Bugs in the plastic solver were fixed.

Release Notes: This version includes more capabilities for structured and semi-structured meshing, stress glut and seismic potency outputs for dynamic sources, and new mesh visualization and snapshot animation tools.

Release Notes: This version features new outputs (energies, curl, div, values at each fault side), new post-processing tools (response spectra, Arias intensity, significant duration, extract values on points and lines), and Brune's source time functions.
