 ==============================================
   * Important Notes:
     * The PolyClipper, BLT, and PYB11Generator submodules have been modified. Be sure to recursively update the submodules.  
 
 Notable changes include:
 
   * New features/ API changes:
-    * Adding P-alpha porosity model
+    * Adding P-alpha porosity model.
     * Updating treatment of various state variables in the presence of porosity.
     * Introduced a new common base class for porosity physics (PorosityModel), which PalphaPorosity and StrainPorosity share.
     * Revamped interaction UpdatePolicies with FieldLists:

     * Adding more Shadow Python interfaces wrapping our C++ classes, in particular PalphaPorosity and StrainPorosity.
     * EquationOfState now requires instances to provide \partial P/\partial \rho and \partial P/\partial \epsilon.  All current equations of state have been updated accordingly.
     * Tillotson and Gruneisen EOSs implementations updated a bit in the revamping.
-    * Added more material options to MaterialPropertiesLib.py (mostly from Melosh's 89 book)

     * CMake variables have a more consistent naming convention. Unused variables are removed.
-    * Added ENABLE_DEV_BUILD option to improve build times during code development

   * Bug Fixes / improvements:
     * Fixed melt behavior in Steinberg-Guinan strength model, which was ignoring melt for damaged material.
     * Fixed range of dimensionless melt temperature for Johnson-Cook strength.
