Dear Colleagues:

Version 2.0.2 of oof2 is now available on the OOF website
at http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2.

The primary new feature is the addition of a "subproblem" object,
useful for breaking up large and/or numerically stiff problems into
smaller, better-posed problems.

Some changes have been made to the extensions API, as well, and users
who have built extensions may need to make modifications.  The new API
is documented in Appendix B of the manual, available on the website.

In addition, a number of bugs have been identified and fixed.

* Plane flux equations were not making correct contributions to
  the right hand side of the linear system, resulting in incorrect
  results for some properties in the plane-stress case.  Also, the
  energy for stress-free strains was not being computed correctly.

* Material redefinition in data files could cause a program crash
  if the data file was loaded after a mesh using the old material
  definition had already been created.

* A number of widget behavior bugs in the GUI have been fixed.

See the changelog on the download page of the website for full
details.

Please let us know if you have problems installing or running the 
new version. 

Sincerely,
	The OOF Development Team.
