lenstronomy JOSS publication and version 1.8.2

[Simon Birrer]

Dear lenstronomy community,

I am pleased to announce that the lenstronomy JOSS publication is accepted and published.

https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.03283

Thank you very much for all your contributions, and for the reviewers (@smsharma, @coljac) and editor (@danielskatz) for their direct and indirect contributions.

If you are making use of lenstronomy in a publication, please cite the original design paper (Birrer & Amara 2018) and the recent JOSS paper, to ensure the recent contributions get acknowledged.

In parallel, a new lenstronomy PyPi version 1.8.2 is available. The release notes for the minor release can be found below.

The most significant changes are the markdown version of the paper and two new lens models.

Please let me know if you have questions or encounter problems!

Best,

Simon
