 \dealii 's particle infrastructure has been modernized to store nearly all

+particle data as a collection of continuous data arrays instead of a container of
 objects. This reorganization improves cache efficiency when iterating over
 particles and reduces the amount of data that needs to be moved when a particle
 moves to a different cell. Keeping track of unused data slots allows to reuse
 them for new particles, significantly reducing memory allocations when
 particles are created after other particles have left the local domain. The
-data arrays are rebuild and sorted during every mesh refinement cycle.
