Maintaining a mail server in this day and age has become too much of a hassle, and our gradual phasing out of the mailing lists over the last 8 months has shown us that GitLab issues work really well for the current amount of bugs and discussions. So from now on: - To report a bug or to start a discussion, simply create an issue on https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/issues You will need to create a GitLab account first if you don't have one already. As usual, please read the documentation and the tutorials (we have improved them quite a bit recently!) and search existing issues before creating a new one. - To receive a notification for new releases, if you have a GitLab account, go to https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh, click on the bell icon ? and select "New release". If you don't want to create a GitLab account you can also subscribe to the RSS feed on https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/tags Best wishes for 2021 ! Christophe ?
