 This release fixes several bugs in PyLith v1.4.0 and v1.4.1. The
 changes include (1) parameters in the power-law rheology are now
 consistent with laboratory experiments, (2) errors in the

-step for implicit time-stepping with linear viscoelastic models has
-been increased from 0.1 times the Maxwell time to 0.2 times the
-Maxwell time based on accuracy tests, (4) the preconditioner is only
