farewell

 

Dear colleagues,

most open-source projects are either abandoned, or developed forever, without ever getting to the "done" state. Yade is widely used now and, in my eyes, fully functional and completed. I am happy about that. I decided to retire from the development, not wanting to stay in some undefined suspended state as I've been for a few months now. Big thanks for cooperation and contributions.

I will be working now on a new project (unnamed so far), forked from current Yade code, which will be less DEM-centric (and more coupling with FEM, fluids, meshfree, ... -- big plans as usual, small fraction eventually realized) and only developed in a small group; the extent of necessary changes is such that keeping continuity with Yade would not be possible, or uneconomically painful. You will be notified if it ever becomes released, but it is also possible that it will die underways or simply never happen at all, time will tell.

Have a nice time with Yade. Adieu.

Vaclav
