[Meshkit-announce] MeshKit v1.5.0 release candidate available

[Vijay S. Mahadevan]

Dear MeshKit users,

The consolidated release of SIGMA v1.3 is available now, and contains the
MeshKit 1.5.0 major release candidate. The release tarball can be
downloaded at: ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/fathom/meshkit-1.5.0.tar.gz.

We would also like to thank our users and contributors for making this
release possible.

The notable changes in MeshKit v1.5.0 are:

* Added a parallel triangle advancing front algorithm for surface meshing;
Also added support for fully open-source NetGen tetrahedral meshes, uses
MeshKit-AdvFront triangle meshing underneath

* Netgen can be auto downloaded during configuration (if not available on
the user system)

* Mesquite support is now enabled directly via MOAB. i.e., configure MOAB
with --enable-mesquite option and build with MeshKit to enable Mesquite
support

* Remove .sat/ACIS files creation support due to interface/capability
change in CGM (refer to CGM release notes)

* Added a new MKmesh tool for invoking any available meshing algorithm on a
geometry

* Support for facet based geometry (default in CGM) for several algorithms

* Considerable updates to the autotools build system, and introducing a new
CMake based build system with test and tools; Several dependencies are
currently not handled with CMake but this will be added in an upcoming
minor release.

* RGG support for Trelis using configure option --enable-rgg16 option

Please refer to the following link to find all changes in the SIGMA
components and more specifically, information about the fixes and
enhancements in CGM as part of this release.
