Release candidate 1 of libMesh version 0.9.1 is now available: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmesh/files/libmesh/libmesh-0.9.1-rc1/
Testing before we make a 0.9.1 final release would be appreciated. Please report any problems to libmesh-us...@sourceforge.net or at https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/issues Apologies to all for the 200% increase in tarball size. libMesh now includes more and much larger 3rd party packages in the contrib/ directory. If there's any demand, I may put together "libmesh-lite" and "libmesh-everything" versions of our tarballs for the final 0.9.1 release, to provide a smaller option for users who either already have local copies of or don't want to use all the optional I/O packages. Changes in 0.9.1 include: * Multi-communicator-capable objects * Communicator-using ParallelObject subclasses can be initialized with arbitrary MPI communicators, independent of the communicator used to init libMesh or the communicators used by other non-interacting objects * No internal library code still uses CommWorld communicators * CommWorld and global Parallel:: methods can be disabled via configure --disable-default-comm-world, breaking backwards compatibility, to facilitate compile-time checking of libMesh-based codes for compatibility with multi-communicator usage. * These methods will be disabled by default in future versions, but configure --enable-default-comm-world will work for the next few releases * Additional specializations for Parallel:: communication methods * New SolutionTransfer infrastructure, implementations, examples * Singleton framework added * Complex-valued libMesh builds can new read real-valued restarts * Interface to and contrib copy of Eigen linear algebra package * Interface to and contrib copy of newer Nemesis/ExodusII/NetCDF * build Tecplot binary I/O library from source, * old behavior can be restored via --disable-tecio * --enable-tecplot * Assorted bugfixes: * UnsteadySolver is now more robust inside AMR loops * Preconditioner setup is more robust with AMR * Fixes in Trilinos and SLEPc package interfaces * Fix for multithreaded QoI derivative assembly * Fixes for compiler and 3rd party library compatibility * Clarifications, updates to API documentation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
