Switch to the branch prev3-develop

[ranocha]

The branch https://github.com/cburstedde/p4est/tree/prev3-develop has been cleaned up by removing a lot of dependencies and unifying some build options. Additionally, it will contain a preview of new developments. If we base our Julia wrapper on that branch, creating the wrappers will probably become easier for us.

Good to know! Do you know if there's a (tentative) schedule for when this will become master?

[ranocha]

No, I don't - maybe we should ask @cburstedde.

We'll release prev3-develop relatively soon as v2.8 I'd think. The current status will be frozen as v2.3.

I haven't decided exactly on how to name the branches, but prev3-develop/v2.8+ will be maintained indefinitely.

Good to know! I'll be checking the repo from time to time and update the P4est_jll package as soon as a new version is released.

@cburstedde Is there any news on when v2.8 will be released?

[cburstedde]

We're cleaning up some portability issues with libsc.
As soon as we're done I'll bump the versions, ideally in a couple weeks.
