> Dear all,
>
> As you all know, we have released 1.0 (!) after 10 years of hard
> work.
>
> After a bit of testing and updating of the build on several platforms
> (Dorsal), the release is being announced today.
>
> Please help out spreading the word about the release, and report any
> typos/mistakes on the web pages. Below follows the announcement of
> the release:
>
> We are pleased to announce the release of FEniCS 1.0. This is the
> first stable and supported release of FEniCS.
>
> FEniCS is an integrated problem solving environment for partial
> differential equations for both Python and C++ users. A high-level
> expressive interface is combined with efficiency through automated and
> seamless generation of highly efficient low level code (C++). An
> integrated domain-specific form language allows finite element
> variational problems to be expressed in near-mathematical notation as
> part of a simulation program.
>
> Summary of features:
> * An integrated domain-specific finite element form language
> * Fully automated assembly of finite element variational forms
> * Fully distributed simplex meshes in 1D, 2D, 3D
> * High-performance linear algebra (based on PETSc and Trilinos)
> * A large library of different finite elements
> * Automated adaptive error control
>
> FEniCS is available for a multitude of platforms, with prebuilt
> binaries for Debian/Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows. In addition, an
> automated build script automates the building of FEniCS and its
> dependencies (including PETSc and Trilinos) on a large collection of
> (*nix) platforms.
>
> FEniCS is supported by extensive documentation, consisting of a
> comprehensive tutorial, detailed API documentation and a range of
> documented demos. In addition, the 700-page FEniCS book (Springer
> 2011) documents the methodology behind the FEniCS Project and
> highlights a number of applications based on FEniCS.

> Thanks to everyone who contributed!
>
> Next up is the release of the book which, according to some recent
> news from Springer, should be printed in the middle of January.
