H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software, has been released. It is +available for free under an Open Source license from the deal.II homepage at + + https://www.dealii.org/ + +The major changes of this release are: +- Parallel triangulations can now be partitioned with cell weights. +- Improved support for complex numbers throughout the library. +- A new triangulation type that supports parallel computations but ensures + that the entire mesh is available on every processor. +- New Rannacher-Turek and Q(p) bubble enriched finite elements +- Initial support for compiling with Visual C++ under Windows. +- see the preprint at https://www.dealii.org/deal84-preprint.pdf +- More than 140 other features and bugfixes, see the full list of changes at + https://www.dealii.org/8.4.0/doxygen/deal.II/changes_between_8_3_and_8_4.html + +The main features of deal.II are: +- Extensive documentation and 52 working example programs +- Support for dimension-independent programming +- Locally refined adaptive meshes and multigrid support +- A zoo of different finite elements +- Built-in support for shared memory and distributed parallel computing, + scaling from laptops to clusters with 10,000s of processor cores +- Interfaces to Trilinos, PETSc, METIS, UMFPACK and other external software +- Output for a wide variety of visualization platforms. + +Wolfgang Bangerth, Timo Heister, Guido Kanschat, Matthias Maier, +and many other contributors. -- 2.39.5
