+
+Welcome to the June 2022 update.
+
+This seems to be a recurring update lately: we are nearly at a rate of one release per month (this makes
+my life in regards to these monthly updates a lot easier...).
+
+To know what went on, head over to the [release info](/posts/version1_2/) of *version 1.2*.
+
+So we recommend you update your installations, you will find the instructions at our
+documentation at the end of the [installation instructions](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/installation.html).
+
+As always: if you run into problems or if you have ideas and feedback, don't hesitate to contact us!
+
+I'm signing off for summer now, gonna change the topic away from snow and enjoy some sun and warm weather for a change!

+Welcome to the May 2022 update.
+
+Bevor you keep reading here, head over to the [release info](/posts/version1_1/) of *version 1.1* to get all 
+changes that went into it. These changes are basically what we mainly worked on 
+during this month. 
+
+However, two additional bits went on:
+- the ongoing writing of peer-reviewed papers
+- and in relation to that, the EGU 2022 took place. The following contributions are related to AvaFrame:
+  - Tonnel, M., Wirbel, A., Oesterle, F., and Fischer, J.-T.: Are avalanche models correct? 
+    An uncertain view on convergence, EGU General Assembly 2022, Vienna, Austria, 23–27 May 2022, 
+    [https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu22-7745](https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu22-7745), 2022. 
+  - Neuhauser, M., Neurauter, R., Tuermer, S., Gerstmayr, J., Adams, M., Koehler, A., and Fischer, J.-T.: 
+    Investigating the potential of GNSS-modules for inflow avalanche measurements, EGU General Assembly 2022, 
+    Vienna, Austria, 23–27 May 2022, EGU22-6416, 
+    [https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu22-6416](https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu22-6416), 2022. 
+
+That's it for this month, and thanks for all the fruitful discussions at the EGU!

+title: "Release Version 1.2"

+slug: "version1_2"

+
+**Today we released [Version 1.2](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/1.2)** 
+
+The main changes are the automatic split point generation and optional computation of fields 
+inside the calculation loop. Furthermore, renaming functions used for the QGis AvaFrameconnector are included.
+
+ENHANCEMENTS
+
+- Add function for renaming simulations, i.e. adding info to the simName. Used for AvaFrameConnector
+- Split cfgUtils: Utils contain all reading and writing; cfghandling has functions that do 
+  something with the cfgInfos
+- Make computation of ppr, pta, P, TA and pke optional within the calculation loop. Only compute them 
+  if they are required as output
+- Add automatic split point generation: - First run a DFA simulation, either using the runDFAModule flag 
+  in runComputeDFAPath.py or yourself
+  - Do not forget that you need to save particles or FD, FM, FV for multiple time steps
+  - What DFA parameters to use is not yet clear. I would use the BenMoussa time stepping and particles parameters, 
+    sphOption 2, explicit friction option 1, some artificial viscosity, and maybe activate curvature 
+    (with all this and a mu=0.42, I get ok results)
+  - Then runComputeDFAPath computes the mass average path, extends it and defines a splitPoint
+
+FIX
+- Particle exiting domain was not working properly with the new cython flag (wraparound boundcheck…)
+- Correct hybrid Path ini file
+- Update fields is too slow #455
+- Automatic split point or beta point finding #706
+- Add pfe to output files #694
+- Make cflTime and sphKernelRadius a common option #668
+- Change benchmarks not read particles from file (particles files still exist)
+- Add consistency check for com1DFA configuration
+- Fix problems with filtering of simulations
+-  Aimec comparison checks
+- Add missing mass files to benchmarks
