  1. Fixed: Linking shared libraries on PowerPC systems (e.g. on +BlueGene systems) failed due to a miscommunication between compiler +and linker. This is now worked around. +

  2. New: There is now a distributed deal.II vector class parallel::distributed::Vector that can be used with MPI. The vector is based on a contiguous locally owned range and allows easy -- 2.39.5
