ANN: SOLVCON 0.1.2

[Yung-Yu Chen]

Release date: 2013/8/8 (GMT+0800)

This release starts to document by using Sphinx and renew the architecture of

problem solvers.

Changes:

- Remove the SCons METIS builder and the corresponding options of

  ``--download``, ``--extract``, and ``--apply-patches``.  Now the SCOTCH

  library is used for graph partitioning with its METIS interface.

- Move the counter of lines of code in SOLVCON from SCons into a standalone

  script ``contrib/countloc``, and thus remove the SCons option ``--count``.

- Remove the SCons option ``--cmpvsn``.  For changing the command of C

  compiler, you can now set the environment variable ``CC`` to whatever the

  command you want.

- Renovate the documentation by using Sphinx.  (#61)

- Add a directory ``contrib/verify_scripts`` to collect scripts for running

  verification examples.

- Design a new hierarchy for solvers by using Cython.  (#59, #60, #62, #63,

  #65)

  - A new series of "sach" (:py:class:`MeshSolver <solvcon.solver.MeshSolver>`,

    :py:class:`MeshAnchor <solvcon.anchor.MeshAnchor>`, :py:class:`MeshCase

    <solvcon.case.MeshCase>`, and :py:class:`MeshHook <solvcon.hook.MeshHook>`)

    is built.

  - The new sach is built upon pure Python :py:class:`Block

    <solvcon.block.Block>` and Cython :py:class:`Mesh <solvcon.mesh.Mesh>`.

Thanks.

with regards,

Yung-Yu Chen
