  1. + Fixed: On certain systems running CygWin, a call to + gethostname() could cause deal.II to hang. The reason + seems to be that the call disables long double computations which + revert to just double precision. This then leads to an endless loop in + computing weights for quadrature points because the convergence + criterion cannot be reached with simple double precision. This is now + fixed by disabling the call to gethostname() on these + systems. +

  2. Fixed: The step-16 example program wasn't listed in the navigation bar of the tutorial section, although it was in the
