The major changes of this release are:
-
- - Advances in simplex- and mixed-mesh support
- - Repartitioning of distributed meshes
- - Advances in matrix-free infrastructure
- - Advances in multigrid infrastructure
- - CutFEM support
- - Experimental integration of the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL)
- - Performance improvements in the particle infrastructure
- - Improvements to unstructured communication
- - Three new tutorial programs (steps 81, 82, and 85) and one new code gallery program
+ - Substantial updates and extensions to deal.II's interfaces to other
+ libraries. This includes, in particular, the integration of Kokkos
+ additions and updates to the PETSc and Trilinos interfaces.
+ - Uniform handling of nonlinear solver packages and a uniform way of
+ defining callbacks used by external libraries.
+ - Advances in matrix-free infrastructure.
+ - Advances in non-matching support.
+ - New features related to linear algebra.
