+
+We're back from summer! And with some exciting news too!
+
+[Version 0.6](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/v0.6), 
+the **QGis/pypi and testing** - release, was published.
+
+So what is included in this release?
+
+- The installation process was completely changed and (hopefully) made a lot easier for you:
+  - installation of AvaFrame is now working via [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/avaframe/), 
+  i.e. through *pip install avaframe*. 
+  - the *pip* install is provided for Windows, Linux and MacOS for python versions *> 3.6*. Note that
+  we did not test MacOS (anyone got a free Macbook lying around?! :-); seriously: if you work on MacOS
+  we'd be happy about some feedback!)
+  - the QGis connector plugin is now in the public
+  [QGis plugin directory](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/avaframeConnector/) 
+  and installable via the QGis plugin manager. This allows you to run the standard operational 
+  workflow from within QGis.
+  - see our [installation instructions](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/installation.html) for more information
+
+- Our testing / code coverage has improved considerably. We are still long ways away from perfect, but this is an 
+  ongoing process. As a side-note: we switched from codecoverage to codeclimate as service provider, since we felt we
+  gain more insights this way. 
+ 
+- Modules with the most substantial changes are:
+  - *com1DFA*:
+    - any resolution is possible (also see the new [FAQ](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/FAQ.html))
+    - option to track particles by ID and know which parent particle they originate from. 
+    - include entrainment thickness from shapefiles
+    - new option for the initialisation of particle mass
+  - *ana3AIMEC*: adjust raster cellsize (for different resolutions) and mass analysis plots
+
+- And as always: many more functional changes under the hood, see the main ones in our 
+ [release notes](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/releaseNotes.html).
+ 
+We invite you to give this version a try, especially the *standard installation using QGis*. Please let us know
+if you run into problems (which you will...). We are looking forward to your feedback!
+
+And since I can see fresh snow up on the mountains from where I'm writing this: let the next avalanche season begin...
+
+Till next month, 
+
+Felix

+
+Welcome to the first winter edition of the monthly update!
+
+This has been a month with a lot of internal development, but not much of it landed on the master branch just yet. 
+
+The topics we are tackling at the moment are:
+
+- initial particle distribution, trying different options
+and checking if there is a significant change in the results
+
+-  working on the DFA kernel convergence (with Amaury). 
+
+- I also looked at Maries code and we are trying with JT to get a
+
+- good workflow out of it. I am now working on the splitting method for particles.1
+
+- Welcome Amaury as an intern, you will see some more code and other contributions from him
+
+- Now beginning the process of bringing end users with operational background in  is and getting feedback
+
