[Getfem-users] 5.1 version of Getfem is released

[Yves Renard]

Dear getfem users,

5.1 version of Getfem is released. This release consists mainly in continuing 
to improve the high-level generic assembly language and continuing the brick 
adaptation and development. Some small incompatibilites compared to 5.0 are due 
to the replacement of simple pointers by smart ones.

The main changes compared to 5.0 are:

   * Extensive use of std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr in |gf| : almost all 
new and delete occurences have been suppressed. Some small incompatibilities in 
the C++ code : most of simple pointers have been replaced by smart ones.

   * Simplification of the python/matlab/scilab interface concerning the object
     management.

   * Evolution of the small strain plasticity bricks.

   * Large strain plasticity bricks (Simo-Miehe model).

   * Redesign of the dof enumeration algorithm: a local sort instead of a 
global one (but it still remains to be parallelized !)
     
   * Addition of a local projection generic function on discontinuous fems.

   * Addition of a specific transformation allowing inter-element computation 
in the high-level generic assembly langage (in order to compute inter-element 
jump of any quantity, average value, error estimator, ...)

   * Addition of a specific tool (Xfem_plus, Xfem_minus) in the high-level 
generic assembly langage in order to have access to the jump across an 
interface when using ficitious domain tools.

   * Extension and partial re-writing of the support for global functions as 
fem basis functions. Now, storing precomputation of values, gradients and 
hessians is possible also for global basis functions.
