Dear all, As you all know, we have released 1.0 (!) after 10 years of hard work.
After a bit of testing and updating of the build on several platforms (Dorsal), the release is being announced today. Please help out spreading the word about the release, and report any typos/mistakes on the web pages. Below follows the announcement of the release: We are pleased to announce the release of FEniCS 1.0. This is the first stable and supported release of FEniCS. FEniCS is an integrated problem solving environment for partial differential equations for both Python and C++ users. A high-level expressive interface is combined with efficiency through automated and seamless generation of highly efficient low level code (C++). An integrated domain-specific form language allows finite element variational problems to be expressed in near-mathematical notation as part of a simulation program. Summary of features: * An integrated domain-specific finite element form language * Fully automated assembly of finite element variational forms * Fully distributed simplex meshes in 1D, 2D, 3D * High-performance linear algebra (based on PETSc and Trilinos) * A large library of different finite elements * Automated adaptive error control FEniCS is available for a multitude of platforms, with prebuilt binaries for Debian/Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows. In addition, an automated build script automates the building of FEniCS and its dependencies (including PETSc and Trilinos) on a large collection of (*nix) platforms. FEniCS is supported by extensive documentation, consisting of a comprehensive tutorial, detailed API documentation and a range of documented demos. In addition, the 700-page FEniCS book (Springer 2011) documents the methodology behind the FEniCS Project and highlights a number of applications based on FEniCS.

Next up is the release of the book which, according to some recent news from Springer, should be printed in the middle of January. -- Anders _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
