Changes after Version 3.3

- -

-This is the list of changes made after the release of -deal.II version 3.3. It is subdivided into changes -made to the three sub-libraries base, -lac, and deal.II, as well as -changes to the general infrastructure, -documentation, etc. -

- -

-All entries are signed with the names of the author. Regular -contributor's names are abbreviated by WB (Wolfgang Bangerth), GK -(Guido Kanschat), RH (Ralf Hartmann), BK (Benjamin S. Kirk). -

General

- -
    -

  1. - - Deprecated: The functions FEValuesBase::get_shape_values, FEValuesBase::get_shape_grads, and FEValuesBase::get_shape_2nd_derivatives are - now deprecated as they expose too much of the internal data - structure of their class, and interfere with plans for the - extension of this and related classes. The functions still - exist in this release of the library, but will be removed in - the next version. Use the FEValuesBase::shape_value and alike - functions as a replacement. -
    - For more information, read - this mail. -     -
    - (WB 2002/06/03) -

    - -

  2. - Added: The configure script now recognizes Intel's ECC - compiler when run on Itanium systems with this compiler present. - The ECC compiler is similar to the ICC compiler but it acccepts some - different options. -
    - (BK 2002/05/22) -

    - -

  3. - New: The step-14 example program demonstrates duality based - error estimators and some more software design concepts. -
    - (WB 2002/05/05) -

    - -

  4. - New: In all previous versions, deal.II used - the ACE (Adaptive Communications Environment) - library to support cross-platform threading - facilities. While this is still supported, the default way - is now to use the POSIX threading functions that are - available on many systems. The relieves you from the need of - installing a huge library of which the most part is not used - anyway. However, if you use ACE for other reasons, then it is - still supported. For installation instructions, see the - ReadMe file. -
    - (WB 2002/04/30) -

    - -

  5. - Changed: The Makefiles for the library are now truly - parallel. To this end, the automatic generation of the files - forward_declarations.h in the various directories had - to be changed. They will now be generated automatically at the - end of the targets all, debug and - optimized. They will not be generated while building a - single library. In this case, make forward can be used - to build them manually. -
    - I introduced separate targets for the generation of the - optimized versions only. -
    - (GK 2002/04/17) -

    - -

  6. - New: The step-13 example program tells you something about - software design things for finite element programs. -
    - (WB 2002/04/16) -

    - -

  7. - Changed: Due to problems with undeclared functions and general - compatibility concerns, -ansi is now no more part - of the compile flags for gcc. -
    - (WB 2002/04/16) -

    - -

  8. - Fixed: Explicit specializations of member templates are now - conforming to the C++ standard. While most compilers accepted - the previous form, Sun's Forte compiler wants a strictly - conforming one. -
    - (WB 2002/03/25) -

    - -

  9. - Fixed: For gcc versions that used ostrstream instead of ostringstream, it was necessary to append - a final std::ends when piping text - into the string stream. This was not previously - conditionalized, but done for old and new classes. -
    - (WB 2002/03/13) -

    - -

  10. - Changed: The configure machinery has been revamped - significantly. -
    - (WB 2002/03/08) -

    - -

  11. - Added: The top-level Makefile now supports "optimized" as a - target that builds only optimized versions of the base, - lac, 1d, 2d, and 3d - libraries. -
    - (BK 2002/02/19) -

    - -

  12. - Changed: The build system was entirely revised. Object - files in debug mode now have the suffix .g.o - instead of .go. All object files from the - subdirectories are now placed into the /lib - top-level directory, rather than in library directories in the - individual subdirs. -
    - (WB 2002/02/11) -

base

- -
    -

  1. - New: The vector2d row accessor - classes now have member functions begin and end - which allow iterating over the elements of a row of such an - object. -
    - (WB 2002/05/30) -

    - -

  2. - New: The Legendre and - LagrangeEquidistant classes now have - static member functions generate_complete_basis which returns an - array of polynomial objects spanning the complete space up to a - specified order in 1d. This may be used to generate the - respective polynomial spaces in higher space dimensions. -
    - (WB 2002/05/27) -

    - -

  3. - Changed: The Polynomial and - LagrangeEquidistant classes have lost - their default constructor, as that did not make much sense - anyway. -
    - (WB 2002/05/27) -

    - -

  4. - Fixed: When forward declaring the Tensor class, we now also forward declare - its partial specialization for a rank one tensor. Not doing so - confused Sun's Forte compiler. -
    - (WB 2002/03/22) -

    - -

  5. - Fixed: The class TensorFunction - now uses local types value_type and - gradient_type as return values of - its member functions. This works around a bug in Sun's Forte - C++ compilers. -
    - (WB 2002/03/20) -

    - -

  6. - Improved: The AssertThrow macro now - uses __builtin_expect if the - compiler supports this. This indicates to the compiler that we - expect the condition to be true and that throwing an exception - is a rare case. By this information, the compiler can help the - branch prediction unit of modern processors to better predict - which direction a branch will take. -
    - (WB 2002/03/13) -

    - -

  7. - New: The vector2d class now not only - allows access to elements through the operator()(unsingned int,unsigned int) - (i.e. matrix or Fortran style access), but also through nested - brackets via an operator[] - (i.e. like to a two-dimensional C-style array). -
    - (WB 2002/03/08) -

    - -

  8. - Changed: The function MultithreadInfo:: - get_n_cpus now reports the proper number - of CPUs when running on Silicon Graphics. -
    - (BK 2002/02/19) -

    - -

  9. - Changed: The quite logorrhoeic function name TensorProductPolynomials::n_tensor_product_polynomials was changed to - n to be compliant wth the new class PolynomialSpace. -
    - (GK 2002/02/11) -

    - -

  10. - New: The class PolynomialSpace - implements the space of polynomials at most a certain degree in - arbitrary space dimensions. -
    - (GK 2002/02/11) -

    - -

  11. - New: The function DataOutBase:: - write_tecplot_binary has been - added. This function will write Tecplot binary files if the - Tecplot API is detected by ./configure. To use this feature be - sure that the environment variable TECHOME points to a valid - Tecplot installation and that the files - $TECHOME/include/TECIO.h and $TECHOME/lib/tecio.a exist. The - name of the file to be written is specified through the DataOutBase ::TecplotFlags. tecplot_binary_file_name variable. If the - API is not available this code simply calls the existing ASCII - output function. -

lac

- -
    -

  1. Improved: SolverGMRES allocates - basis vectors only, when they are needed. Therefore, it is safe - now to ask for a basis larger than the expected number of - iteration steps. On the other hand, memory allocation failures - may occur during the iteration now. -
    - (GK 2002/05/24) -

    - -

  2. - New: Function SparsityPattern::matrix_position is the - inverse function for SparsityPattern::operator(). -
    - (WB 2002/02/13) -

    - -

  3. - New: Functions SparsityPattern::copy_from and SparseMatrix::copy_from allow to copy a full - matrix into a sparse matrix. -
    - (WB 2002/02/06) -

deal.II

- -
    -

  1. - New: The GeometryInfo class now - provides two methods, - unit_cell_vertex and vertices_adjacent_to_line, that reveal - something about the placement and numbering of vertices on the - uni cell. -
    - (GK 2002/05/29) -

    - -

  2. - New: The GridOut:: - write_dx function is now implemented. - It allows to write the mesh (cells and faces) with some additional - information that may be useful once in a while. -
    - (GK 2002/05/02) -

    - -

  3. - Fixed: The IteratorState::IteratorState - enum is now called IteratorState::IteratorStates. This works - around a bug in Sun's Forte C++ compilers which can't handle - members of namespaces with the same name as the enclosing - namespace. -
    - (WB 2002/03/20) -

    - -

  4. - Fixed: In 3d, the function DoFTools::make_hanging_node_constraints - contained an assertion that failed erroneously for finite - elements that do not have degrees of freedom on vertices. This - is now fixed. -
    - (WB 2002/02/21) -

    - -

  5. - Fixed: TriaAccessor<3,3>::measure - sometimes computed a negative value. This is now fixed. -
    - (WB 2002/02/21) -

    - -

  6. - New: Finite element family with complete polynomial spaces - for discontinuous Galerkin: FE_DGP -
