<h3>General</h3>
<ol>
+ <li> <p>
+ New: Output for <a href="http:www.opendx.org">OpenDX</a> has
+ been added. It can be used by choosing output format «dx» (not
+ yet for grid output). The data format is very basic now, but it
+ is planned to improve this to make use of the excellent
+ capabilites of OpenDX.</p>
+ <p>
+ Additionally, a directory <tt>contrib/dx</tt> has been added,
+ containing visual programs for OpenDX. Programs for the
+ existing output of data as a single vector are found in the
+ subdirectory <tt>single</tt>.

<li> <p> Fixed: Previously, the $(INCLUDE) variable in Makefiles
included the values of the $INCLUDE environment variable. This
is not desirable, since the compiler evaluates that variable

+ Improved: Both functions <code

+ class="member">compute_mean_value</code> take ingoing and
+ outgoing vector types as template arguments. This allows
+ applying them to <code class="class">BlockVector</code>.
