PYTHIA version 8.311 now available.

14 November 2023:
Yet another change of my primary mail address, to torbjorn.sjostrand@fysik.lu.se, hopefully the last one. Mail will be forwarded from the previous addresses torbjorn@thep.lu.se, torbjorn.sjostrand@thep.lu.se and torbjorn.sjostrand@hep.lu.se, at least in the near future.

21 October 2023:
The recorded presentations from the "50 Years of QCD" conference now made available here,
including my own presentation on "The Role of Event Generators (in the exploration of QCD)"
