+ 2013/03/07: Build system switched to CMake +
+
+ After having used Autoconf as the configuration and build system + since the beginning of deal.II in 1997, we have now switch to + CMake. This implementation, + contributed by Matthias Maier of Heidelberg University, has taken + more than half a year, consists of more than 10,000 lines, and + touches every aspect of the installation process. It provides a more + modern interface to and more reliable way of interacting with other + packages. Furthermore, it no longer relies on shell scripts and + therefore integrates more easily with integrated development + environments as well as Microsoft Windows without Cygwin. +
