+This release of CitComS (2.2) incorporates the ability of tracing particles
+ in the flow.
+ The tracer code was developed by Allen McNamara and Shijie Zhong in 2004
+ and donated to CIG in early 2007.
+ The tracer code has a wide range of applications in the mantle convection.
+ It can be used in tracing the trajectory of passive particles, in delineating
+ the top boundary of subducted slabs to define the low viscosity wedges,
+ or in tracking the evolution of the chemical composition field.
