Clawpack v5.11.0 released

[Randall J LeVeque]

Dear Clawpack Users,

We are happy to announce that Clawpack 5.11.0 has been released.

See the release notes for a summary of all changes:
  http://www.clawpack.org/release_5_11_0.html
 
One change in GeoClaw that is not backward compatible:  More flexibility has been added to the way fgout grids are specified  -- you can now specify a set of times that are not equally spaced, and you can specify which components of q to output at each time, possibly resulting in smaller file sizes.  This means that the format of the fgout_grids.data file created differs from past versions. So care may be required if you try to load and plot fgout frames that were originally created with earlier versions of GeoClaw. For more details see

   https://www.clawpack.org/fgout.html.

There are a few other new features and bug fixes, please see the release notes for more details,
