Release 1.3

What's Changed

1.3 is out! One of the biggest releases so far! Lots of new functionalities, bug fixes and quality of life improvements!

We encourage users to upgrade their FESTIM version with

pip install -U festim

🌟 Highlights 🌟

• Custom solver
  Users can now use a custom newton solver and have a finer control on the solver parameters (pre-conditioners, linear solvers...)
• Kinetic surface model
  Similar to the model of Pick & Sonnenberg for surface dynamics, it is now possible to have a kinetic surface model in 1D simulations
