ANN: SOLVCON 0.1.1

[Yung-Yu Chen]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce version 0.1.1 of SOLVCON.  SOLVCON is a Python-based,

multi-physics software framework for solving first-order hyperbolic PDEs.

The source tarball can be downloaded at

http://bitbucket.org/yungyuc/solvcon/downloads .  More information can be

found at http://solvcon.net/ .

This release adds a loader of Gmsh mesh format and fixes several bugs.

New features:

- Add a loader for Gmsh ASCII mesh format.  The loader locates in

  solvcon.io.gmsh and is implemented as pure Python code.  ``scg mesh`` command

  line tool can recognize the format.  Issue #52.

- Revamp the dependency building system to support older OSes and proxies that

  need authentication.  Issue #53.

- Extract the SCons commands for building the Epydoc and Sphinx document from

  SConstruct into standalone SCons tools.  Two new tools are added in the

  directory ``site_scons/site_tools/``: ``sphinx.py`` and ``scons_epydoc.py``.

  Note that the SCons tool for Epydoc cannot be named as ``epydoc.py`` or the

  name collides with the real ``epydoc`` package.

- Add Gmsh and Sphinx into ground/.

Bug-fix:

- Issue #49: "No Vtk for final time step".  Output timing of CollectHook and

  MarchSave.

- Issue #54: "Shared objects are not found under Mac OS X".  Thank you Nathan.

- Issue #38: "soln/dsoln shouldn't be hard-coded".
