[aspect-devel] ASPECT 1.5.0 released

[Rene Gassmoeller]

Hi Felipe,

there are no strict official recommendations, but I would suggest:

p4est:

minimum: 0.3.4.2,
recommended: 1.1

trilinos:

minimum: not sure 11.4?, that is the official state, but I have to admit 
I have not tested it in a while
recommended: newer,  I have successfully used 11.8.1, 12.0.1, and 12.8.1

deal.II:

minimum: 8.4.1,
recommended: the current development version 8.5.pre is faster for some 
models (in particular for spherical models, and models with particles)


Best,
Rene
