+Welcome to the May 2021 edition of our monthly update. Our main goal was the
+preparation for the switch of the dense flow model com1DFA from a C code to
+python (cython) code. This meant to check every little detail and difference that
+we found as well as:
+
+ updated the documentation for the new python com1DFAP: algorithm, workflow and description
+  
+ updated the re-projection method of particles. Now particles are re-projected
+  normal to the surface and not vertically. This is especially important at
+  sharp drops. We also added a test case for this.  
+
+ restructured the com1DFA run workflow 
+
+  - now everything is controlled in model configuration via ini (the previous
+    com1DFA had a lot of internal setup)
+  
+  - allow for parameter variation runs right from python
+
+  - new naming of simulations which provides easy filtering options
+
+ restructured the benchmark workflow and updated run scripts for standard tests 
+
+  - added simple functions to fetch benchmarks
+
+  - simplify plotting and AIMEC path functions according to new structure based 
+  on simulation name and configuration
+
+ com2AB (Alpha Beta) now allows for running with custom parameters
+
+ added an export function to visualise particle properties with Paraview
+
+ started the development of the QGis Connection. See this
+  [repository](https://github.com/avaframe/QGisAF) for the development. 
+
+Since we are now nearing the milestone of our first public prototype, I guess we
+will have to start posting some nice graphics as well... So watch this space for
+upcoming posts! :-)
