The Zoltan Team is pleased to announce the release of
Zoltan v3.1.  Zoltan enables more efficient parallel computing
for dynamic, unstructured applications by providing tools such
as dynamic load balancing, partitioning, data migration,
graph coloring, distributed data directories, and unstructured
communication primitives, as well as interfaces to the popular
PT-Scotch, PaToH and ParMETIS libraries.

New Features in Zoltan v3.1:

    * Graph/Matrix ordering interface to PT-Scotch,
      a high-quality graph ordering and partitioning
      library from LaBRI/INRIA-Bordeaux.
    * New matrix ordering interface that returns ordering
      information such as permutations and separators to
      the application.
    * New hypergraph partitioning options for inexpensively
      refining partitions.
    * Robustness improvements to Zoltan's parallel hypergraph
      partitioner and repartitioner.
    * New Autotools build environment.
    * Tight integration with the Trilinos project, including
      Trilinos package Isorropia, a matrix-based interface to
      Zoltan.
    * Serial, non-MPI builds are now available.

Zoltan is open-source software available for download as a
stand-alone toolkit from
    http://www.cs.sandia.gov/Zoltan

In addition, Zoltan is now a Trilinos package, released in
Trilinos v9.0.  Trilinos v9.0 is available from
    http://trilinos.sandia.gov
