See the news +page at + http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal/news/2000/3.0.0-vs-3.1.0.html + +deal.II is a C++ class library targeted at adaptive finite elements. +It uses state-of-the-art programming techniques of the C++ programming +language to offer you a modern interface to the complex data +structures and algorithms required for locally refined meshes and +enables you to use a variety of finite elements in one, two, and three +space dimensions, as well as support for time-dependent problems. + +The library is written for research purposes and offers many features: +- Support for one, two, and three space dimensions, using a unified + interface that enables writing programs almost dimension independent. + +- Handling of locally refined grids, including different adaptive + refinement strategies based on local error indicators and error + estimators. + +- Support for a variety of finite elements, including Lagrange + elements of order one through four, and discontinuous elements. + +- Extensive documentation: all documentation is available online in a + logical tree structure to allow fast access to the information you + need. If printed it comprises about 250 pages of tutorials, several + reports, and far more than 1,000 pages of programming interface + documentation with explanations of all classes, functions, and + variables. + +- Modern software techniques that make access to the complex data + structures and algorithms as transparent as possible. The use of + object oriented programming allows for program structures similar to + the structures in mathematical analysis. + +- Fast algorithms that enable you to solve problems with up to several + millions of degrees of freedom quickly. As opposed to programming + symbolic algebra packages the penalty for readability is low. + +- Support for several output formats, including some common formats + for visualization of scientific data. + +- Support for a variety of computer platforms, including multi- + processor machines. + +- Free source code under an Open Source license for noncommercial + purposes, and the invitation to contribute to further development of + the library. + + +Wolfgang Bangerth, Ralf Hartmann, Guido Kanschat, the deal.II team diff --git a/deal.II/doc/RELEASE/announce-list b/deal.II/doc/RELEASE/announce-list new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d1a628213d --- /dev/null +++ b/deal.II/doc/RELEASE/announce-list @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +deal@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de +kc@isc.tamu.edu +tveldhui@extreme.indiana.edu +sullivan@mathcom.com +Ian_MacPhedran@engr.usask.ca, roger@maths.grace.cri.nz +oon-digest@oonumerics.org +scicomp@uni-erlangen.de +na.digest@na-net.ornl.gov diff --git a/deal.II/doc/news/release-tasks b/deal.II/doc/RELEASE/tasks similarity index 100% rename from deal.II/doc/news/release-tasks rename to deal.II/doc/RELEASE/tasks
