+  <li>New: When running long simulations, the output generated by
+  the "depth average" postprocessor can become messy and hard
+  to visualize in the format previously used because it was,
+  essentially, just a text based table. The data is now written
+  into a file, named <code>depth_average.ext</code> in the
+  output directory, in any of the output formats supported
+  by deal.II, where <code>ext</code> is the matching file
+  name extension for the format. This allows visualization
+  as a time-depth plot. The format is selected in the input
+  file, along with a number of other settings.
