This release fixes a serious FEMSystem bug that existed in 0.8.0-rc1 as well as svn revisions 6339:6427.
Changes since libMesh 0.7.3 include: * Vector-valued finite elements & related examples * Entirely refactored Parallel namespace implementation * Properly communicate DofIndices when communicating DofObjects * std::thread-like asynchronous function execution * Refactored serialized EquationSystems I/O for increased performance * Heterogeneous constraints & bug fixes * Proper DirichletConstraints Dirichlet boundary conditions * Improved PeriodicBoundary support * Refactored, parallelized SparsityPattern generation * Weighted Patch Recovery Error Estimator suppport * Relocated header files, e.g. #include "dof_map.h" becomes #include "libmesh/dof_map.h" this will be strictly enforced in the next release. * ParallelMesh fixes * PGI, Sun Studio compiler portability fixes * MeshTools::Generation::build_sphere() icosahedron support * Improved Abaqus reader support * Improved UCDIO writer support * Output only a subset of variables from EquationSystems * Run-time floating point exception trapping via --enable-fpe * Refreshed packaged METIS and ParMETIS to latest versions * PETSc-3.3, SLEPc 3.3 support * Trilinos-11 support * Mac OSX 10.8 "Mountain Lion" fixes * New Examples: o systems_of_equations 4, 5, 6: 2D and 3D linear elasticity o reduced_basis_ex5: 3D linear elasticity with the Reduced Basis method o reduced_basis_ex6: Empirical interpolation method for a geometrically parametrized domain in 3D o reduced_basis_ex7: Complex-valued Reduced Basis problem modeling an acoustic horn Official release versions can be downloaded from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libmesh/files/libmesh/libmesh-0.8.0/ --- Roy Stogner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
