[Vikram G. <sim...@gm...>]

I ended up sending this to Danny of the NA Digest, meant to send it on this
list. Please see included message.

Hey all,
            I was thinking of sending a blurb about new libMesh releases to
the NA Digest list. This is my first shot at a blurb for the new libMesh
0.8.0 release. Please tell me what other features I should include. I will
then send this to the NA Digest editor.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Proposed blurb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Subject: New Release of libMesh (0.8.0)

We are pleased to announce the latest release of the C++ Finite Element
library libMesh. The libMesh library provides a framework for the numerical
simulation of partial differential equations using arbitrary unstructured
discretizations on serial and parallel platforms. The library can be
downloaded from the Sourceforge website here,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmesh/files/

New features in this release include support for vector-valued finite
elements, adjoint-based goal oriented error estimation and weighted
patch-recovery error indicators. Release notes are available here,

Examples illustrating the various features of the library can be found
here, http://libmesh.sourceforge.net/examples.php


%%%%%%%%%%%%% End blurb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Thanks.
