This release contains various bug fixes and feature improvements. Most notably, this release is accompanied by an ANL report authorized for release. The report was automatically generated using doxygen with tag v1.2.0. It serves as a static reference manual and also a starting point for technical documentation -- future ANL reports on NEML2 will mostly focus on changes and improvements and will not repeat the same set of notes over again.
Other notable changes include
- The `Predictor` system is removed. Instead, we let the "driver" programs handle predictor calculation. An example predictor implementation is available in `TransientDriver`.
- An initial effort in integrating NEML2 into [BlackBear](https://github.com/idaholab/blackbear), an application based on the finite element method. A significant speed-up can be achieved by offsetting constitutive updates onto GPU(s) using NEML2. The integration is still being worked on, and is expected to complete in the next few releases.
