LIGGGHTS 1.4.5 (released 12 October 2011)

+ Improved the fix heat/gran command to account for correction of the contact area by providing an original (unsoftened) value for the Young's modulus.
+ Added the possibility in fix wall/gran to store the per-particle wall force. Also fixed a small bug in arg error check for fix wall/gran. Thanks to Shantanu Maheshwari for posting an offending script.
+ Improved the accuracy for restart of contact history for granular wall - restarts should be more exact now.
+ Added a new keyword 'stresscomponents' to the dump mesh/gran/vtk command. Thanks to Christine Bertsch (Züblin Stuttgart) for the suggestion and for sending some code.
+ Hopefully fixed a bug with compute pair/gran/local. Thanks to Mark Bentley (Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences) for collaboration on that subject.
Also, changed output for periodic simulations - now the coordinate wrapped into the box is output.
+ Fixed a bug with particle type initialization when using fix insert. Thanks to Timo Kuljo (University of Oulu) for sending a testcase that showed this.
+ Re-added makefile.lib to the /src directory that got lost somehow. Thanks to Moritz Höfert (BASF Ludwigshafen) for noting this.
+ Fixed small memory issues in fix property/global and fix couple/cfd.
+ Fixed a bug in the fix insert/pack command using option 'all_in = yes'.
+ Fixed an issue with fix insert/stream. Thanks to Sergei Dorofeenko (Russian Academy of Sciences) and Simon Wallner (Vienna UT) for reporting this and to Alice Hager (JKU) for help with debugging. Also fixed a few issues with missing error-checks on the arguments of fix insert/stream parameters and updated the fix insert/stream doc.

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY: You may not be able to use restart files with 1.4.5 that were generated by older version of LIGGGHTS
