[Getfem-users] Version 5.2 released

[Yves Renard]

Dear GetFEM users,

I am pleased to inform you that version 5.2 is released and downloadable on 
getfem.org

The main contribution of this release is the sharp optimization of the high 
level generic assembly. Speed up in assembly time can be very important. The 
first pyramidal elements were also designed.

Released version, 2017/06/30.

The main changes are:

   * |gf| project is now hosted by `Savannah 
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/getfem>`_.

   * Sharp optimization of the high level generic assembly: optimization of
     the most used instructions and most used elements, optimization of the
     storage into sparse matrix optimization, factorization of some elementary
     operations, etc.

   * Isoparametric Lagrange pyramidal elements of degree 1 and 2 have been
     added together with corresponding quadrature methods.

   * Python interface is now compatible with Python 3.x versions.

   * Import of Ansys meshes.

   * A new transformation has been added to the high level generic assembly
     language for the extrapolation on a neighbour element.

   * Compatibility for Windows and Mac installation has been checked.
