+- Version bump to 4.0.2
+  *Corrections for bugs that may harm simulation results:
+   * A sign error in tabulated interactions was corrected such that
+     the force equals the negative gradient of the potential.
+     (#2519,2520)
+   * The flow field of the CPU lattice-Boltzmann implementation was
+     deleted when aspects of the molecular dynamics cell grid were
+     changed; E.g., when interactions, the skin or the parallelization
+     setup were changed. ESPResSo now terminates with an error, when this
+     happens. To avoid this, please setup the CPU lattice-Boltzmann after
+     all other aspects of the system. The GPU LB is not affected in the
+     4.0 release, but was affected in the current development branch.
+     (#2728, #2736)
+   * Corrected the force acting on LB Boundaries for the case of
+     agrid and density not equal to 1 (#2624).
+   * Corrected the cutoff calculation for the soft sphere interaction. In
+     the previous implementation, the offset parameter was ignored.
+     (#2505)
+   * The "three point coupling" of particles to the lattice-Boltzmann
+     method has been removed. While it works in most environments, for
+     some compilers the calculation gives wrong values. This is likely
+     caused by undefined behavior. A corrected implementation is
+     available in ESPResSo's development branch. It cannot be safely
+     backported to 4.0.2, because the code has diverged too far. (#2516,
+     #2517) Users who did not explicitly activate this coupling via
+     couple="3pt" are not affected.
+   * The velocity of existing particles was changed when setting or
+     changing the simulation time step (#2480)
+ * Further changes:
+   * Fixed the electrokinetic Python interface (#2486)
+   * Correction to the installation instructions for mac (#2510)
+   * Corrected file permissions (#2470)
+   * Minor corrections and extensions to the test suite (#2477, #2552)
+   * Fixed a dead-lock in the dipolar Barnes Hutt method on the GPU for
+     recent NVIDIA cards such as RTX 2080 (#2719).
+   * Restored Mayavi visualizer's API-compatibility with OpenGL
+     visualizer (#2751)
