During the last year, we have on the one hand removed a bit of cruft from the old code, but on the other hand, a number of interesting new features have been added to the software. Here we name just the major features:

• An immersed boundary code allows to simulate extended flexible objects in a LB fluid.
• The feature CATALYTIC_REACTIONS models a simple chemical reaction: when a particle of the reactant type comes into the vincinity of a particle of the catalysator type, the reactant is transformed into a particle of the product type.
• The feature GHMC implements a generalized hybrid Monte-Carlo thermostat.
• The feature GRANDCANONCIAL provides functions for grandcanonical simulations.
• When using ROTATION_PER_PARTICLE, it is possible to turn on or off rotational degrees of freedom for the different particles.

For a complete list of the changes in the release, please refer to the file NEWS. If you find a bug in the release, please report the bug here.

We recommend all users of ESPResSo to update to the new release as soon as possible. With the release of 3.2.0, we will not provide further updates to the ESPResSo 3.1 branch.

Participants of the first ESPResSo Summer School in October 2010.

With this posting we want to invite you to the 2012 ESPResSo Summer School 2012 ”Simulating Soft Matter with ESPResSo, ESPResSo++ and VOTCA”, which will take place on October 8th-12th 2012 at the Institute for Computational Physics at the University of Stuttgart. The school consists of lectures and hands-on sessions in two tracks, both for beginners as well as for experienced users of ESPResSo and ESPResSo++. Furthermore, there will be a poster session, where participants have the opportunity to discuss their projects with the other participants and the speakers, and a number of scientific talks where scientists will present recent research projects that were done with any of the software packages. The school is organized by ICP, CECAM and the SimTech Cluster of Excellence.
