🌟 MFEM 4.5.2 Released

[tzanio]

Dear MFEM community,

Version 4.5.2 of MFEM was released on March 23, 2023. This release has a number of fixes and several new additions including:

• Support for pyramids in non-conforming AMR meshes. Currently only isotropic refinement is supported in this case.

• New fast normalization-based distance solver, see the Distance miniapp in the miniapps/shifted/ directory.

• Option to auto-balance compound TMOP metrics.

• Support for shared Windows builds with MSVC through CMake.

• Removed the support for the Mesquite toolkit. We recommend using MFEM's TMOP functionality instead for mesh optimization.

To download, and for more information visit http://mfem.org.

We welcome any and all feedback at https://github.com/mfem/mfem/issues.
