OOF Newsletter #16 (March 2006)

Dear OOF Users:

OOF2 2.0 beta 8 is now available for download from

  http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2.html

Beta 8 includes a few new features and many bug fixes.  Many crucial
operations are also two or three times faster.  For more information,
see the change log at 

   http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2changes.html

If you're upgrading to beta 8 from an beta 6 or earlier, you should
delete the oofcppcmodule.so library that was installed by the earlier
version.  It's not used in beta 8, and won't be overwritten or erased
when beta 8 is installed.

Please let us know if you have any difficulties installing or using
OOF2 by sending e-mail to oof_bugs@lurch.nist.gov.

We hope that this will be the last beta release of OOF2 2.0.  We do not
expect to add any more features to 2.0.  We will release the final
version of 2.0 after more testing is complete.  Version 2.1, which
will include plasticity and parallel computation, is already under
development. 

Thank you,
   The OOF team
