+          deal.II version 8.0 was released today. This is a major new
+	  release, featuring the conversion of the configuration and
+	  build system to <a href="http://www.cmake.org/">CMake</a>,
+	  support for parallel computations with more than 4 billion
+	  unknowns, and many more. A full list of changes can be

           Because the global dof index variables in deal.II were of type
-    unsigned int, it was not possible to create a dof_handler with more than
-    4.3 billions of unknowns. The 64-bit version of deal.II uses unsigned long
-    long int and thus, allows for 18e18 unknowns.
