+Version 3.2 of the well-known object-oriented finite element library
+deal.II has been released. It is available from the deal.II home-page
+at
+
+      http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal
+
+The most important improvements are:
+
+- Mapping of arbitrary order at curved boundaries. This includes the
+  possibility of using hypo-, iso- and hyperparametric elements, as
+  well as shape functions depending on the actual grid cell..
+- A matrix class for conveniently filtering Dirichlet boundary values
+  without reassembling the system matrix.
+- A wide variety of target systems by ISO C++ conformance.
+
+
+A concise list of all changes with respect to the previous version can
+be found at
+
+ http://gaia.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/~deal/news/2000/3.1.0-vs-3.2.0.html
+
+All main features of the previous versions have been continued and improved:
+
+- Support for dimension-independent programming
+- Extensive documentation and working example programs
+- Locally refined grids
+- Continuous and discontinuous elements of higher order
+- Fast linear algebra
+- Built-in support for symmetric multi-processing
+- Output for a variety of visualization platforms
+
+An still, deal.II is distributed under an Open Source license and it
+is free for noncommercial use.
