[Libmesh-users] libMesh-0.9.0 released

[Kirk, B. (JSC-EG311) <ben...@na...>]

All, 

libMesh-0.9.0 now available:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libmesh/files/libmesh/libmesh-0.9.0

Some of the major changes include

0.8.0 -> 0.9.0
  * automake build system
    libMesh-specific implementation features:
    source and header files must be listed explicitly.
    When adding a header file,
      1.) svn add the file
      2.) cd include ; ./rebuild_include_HEADERS.sh
      3.) cd include/libmesh ; ./rebuild_makefile.sh
    When adding a soure file,
      1.) svn add the file
      2.) cd src ; ./rebuild_libmesh_la_SOURCES.sh
    General notes:
      o make install && make installcheck
        installs the built library & performs sanity checking
      o make distcheck
        packages up a tarball and tests it for self-sufficiency.
        always do this when modifying the build system.
      o for more information, view the README and INSTALL files.
  * VariableGroups DofObject storage optimization for the common
    case of multiple Variables of the same type within a System.
    Note this changes the default variable ordering within a
    System - the old format is available via System::identify_variable_groups()
  * TecplotIO binary format updated to support v11.2 features where
    available.  This includes encoding the solution time into output files,
    writing each libMesh subdomain to a separate Tecplot zone, and support
    for 1D Tecplot binary files.
  * ./configure'able support for identifier types. Defaults:
         id size (boundaries)............. : 2 bytes
         id size (dofs)................... : 4 bytes
         id size (processors)............. : 2 bytes
         id size (subdomains)............. : 2 bytes
  * Reduced memory footprint for Node objects.
  * Fix for using specified preconditioners with adaptivity and PETSc-3.3.
  * New Examples:
     o fem_system_ex2: Nonlinear elasticity, courtesy Robert Weidlich.
     o adjoints_ex5: Unsteady Adjoints.
     o miscellaneous_ex8: meshfree, inverse distance interpolation.



As always, please report any usability issues, and enjoy!
