> Subject: Revision 6.0.1 of Scotch is out
> 
> We announce the release, as libre/free software, of revision 6.0.1 of
> the SCOTCH and PT-SCOTCH software package and library for sequential
> and parallel graph partitioning, sequential and parallel graph
> clustering, sequential mesh/hypergraph partitioning and static
> mapping, and sequential and parallel sparse matrix block ordering.
> 
> While revision 6.0.1 is technically a bugfix release, with no apparent
> new features, much has changed "under the hood".
> - Sequential algorithms for repartitioning and (re)partitioning with
>   fixed vertices have been improved.
> - Multithreading issues have been solved.
> - From now on, there is no separate "*_esmumps" version for
>   interfacing with the MUMPS solver. The additional libraries can be
>   generated by running "make esmumps" for the sequential libraries and
>   "make ptesmumps" for the parallel libraries.
> 
> Parallel static mapping and parallel direct k-way graph repartitioning
> with fixed vertices will be available in release 6.1.
