I am pleased to announce the release of solids4foam-v2.0:

• solids4foam-v2.0 compiles with newer versions of OpenFOAM and foam-extend;
• solids4foam has moved from bitbucket to GitHub: https://github.com/solids4foam/solids4foam;
• solids4foam has a new website: https://solids4foam.github.io;
• In collaboration with the preCICE development team, support has been added for using solids4foam with preCICE (https://precice.org);
• The latest versions of solids4foam are now automatically added to the solids4foam Docker Hub page;
• New solid mechanical laws have been added, including Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, isotropic Fung, and Ogden;
• New solid models have been added, such as the block-coupled vertex-centred approach built on the PETSc linear solver toolbox;
• The fluid models more closely follow the code from the underlying OpenFOAM version;
• The build and test scripts have been re-designed;
• A tutorials benchmark data repository has been created for storing reference data and results for the tutorials;
  solids4foam has a new logo! It is a deformed green nabla (like a deformed structure) with strings; the strings are a hat tip to the origins of the nabla symbol and the national symbol of Ireland;
• The filesToReplaceInOF has been removed, although optionalFixes are still recommended when using foam-extend;
• foam-extend is no longer the primary development fork for solids4foam; instead, it is equally likely that new features will be developed in any of the three supported forks;
• There is greater support for OpenFOAM.com and OpenFOAM.org versions; for example, multi-material and solid-to-solid contact are now supported.

If you would like to contribute to solids4foam, why not create enhancement suggestions on the solids4foam issues page, or, even better, fork the repository and create a pull request with your additions? For example, why not create a new README.md for an undocumented tutorial?
