LIGGGHTS 3.0.1: (released 10 April 2014)

+ We now have a wiki containing updated installation tutorials and also we're starting to put together some coding style guide. See https://github.com/CFDEMproject/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/wiki. Thanks to Richard Berger (JKU) for starting to fill this with content!
+ Richard Berger (JKU) made a large patch to the code base removing most of the compiler warnings, so LIGGGHTS should compile much cleaner now.
+ Richard Berger (JKU) also made some fine-tuning and performance optimizations for handling of mesh walls (fix neighlist/mesh and fix contacthistory/mesh)
+ Extended the area correction feature of fix heat/gran/conduction, the feature is also now generalized to work with all types of contact models. Also fixed an issue with causing this feature not to work correctly with LIGGGHTS 3.X. Thanks to Rouven Weiler (BASF) for sending a testcase.
+ Also fixed a sign issue in particle-wall heat transfer. Thanks again to Rouven Weiler (BASF) for sending a testcase.
+ Fixed an internal issue with contact history which could occur for periodic boundary conditions in some rare cases. Thanks again to Rouven Weiler (BASF) for sending a testcase.
+ Fixed an issue that could lead to a crash/segfault for cases where the pair_style was changed during simulation or after restarting the simulation.
+ Disallowed multiple fix wall/gran/* commands of mesh type.
+ Philippe Seil (JKU) added some code to fix couple/cfd so that also torques on particles can be exchanged with a fluid model
+ Fixed an issue with the delete_atoms functionality of fix Massflow/mesh, which was sometimes not deleting the particles as it should. Thanks to Christian Richter (OVGU) for a testcase
+ Fixed an issue with the documentation links for the epsd type rolling friction models. Thanks to Christian Richter (OVGU) for the hint.
