+ New: We now support MIPSpro compiler version 7.41 from SGI. deal.II
+ now runs on IRIX64 machines in 64-bit mode.
+ <br>
+ Please note, that we cannot support ealier MIPSpro compilers
+ because the compiler version 7.3 was not C++ standard
+ conforming. Version 7.4 is standard conforming but still too
+ buggy.

wrappers classes for PETSc vectors, matrices, linear solvers and
preconditioners. Many of the algorithms in deal.II have also been

Changed: The part of the boost library in the <tt>contrib</tt>
directory is now updated to boost version 1-30.2. We include
- only a minimal part (less than 6%) of boost which is needed to
+ only a minimal part (about 3% in size) of boost which is needed to
compile deal.II. For the case the compilation of deal.II on
some compiler/platforms requires boost files in addition to
those included in the <tt>contrib</tt> directory they should be
