    ********************
    Version_[12_04_2008]
    ********************
    
    - new RESAMPLE directory containing files to create the new libresample.a library
      update tarngo.sh accordingly
    - create_surface modified so that particles are stored in a given order
    - move_surface modified to implement re-interpolation of convex hull ptcles with constant spacing
    - slices, and visualise_matrix rewritten with PGPLOT routines (up to 20 times faster, files 7 times smaller)
    - fixde little bug in second move_surface call

    Major update
    - binary output files (changes to DOUAR and post): leads to much more compact output files; can be transferred to and from old ascii format using the a2b.f90 and b2a.f90 converters in VTK
    - new parameters : 
    (1) calculate_temp (allows to switch off the temperature calculations)
    (2) strain softening parameters in MC and DPI/II rheologies
    (3) viscositymin/viscositymax: hardwired minb/max limits on the viscosity
    (4) stretch, anglemax, criterion, anglemaxoctree have become surface parameters (i.e. they have a specific value for each surface)
    (5) spread_surface_points : to "spread" the points on the top surface (or any surface) to avoid collapse of the cascade mesh
    (6) erosion parameters : length-scale and velocity_scale (values in km and km/Myr of the unit length and unit velocity), fluvial_erosion and diffusion_erosion (values of the two erosion coefficient in per m2 and m2/yr), baselevelx0,x1,y0,y1 to specify whether each of the four boundaries corresponds to a baselevel (fixed height)
    - coupling with cascade
    - strain softening (using the strain carried by the particles)
    - modifications to post.f90 to produce, among other things a "regular.vtk" file that has the strain and velocity informatyion on a regular grid, allowing for display of the strain tensor glyphs
    - post.f90 also produces rivers.vtk for channel geometry
    - post.f90 changed to include erosion rate as  field on the top surface (this field is stored in the "r" field of the surface; in this way the shape of the output files has not changed)
    - various bug fixes
    
    23_Feb_2007
