Dear OOF Users:

A new version of OOF2, 2.0.5a10, is now available at the OOF website,

   http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2/index.html#download

This release fixes a serious bug that could produce incorrect results
for the out-of-plane components of strain in a plane-stress problem.
Properties that coupled to the out-of-plane strain were also affected.
If you used OOF2 with plane-stress elasticity, you should recheck your
results with the new version.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

2.0.5a10 also includes a few less dramatic bug fixes.  If you aren't
using plane-stress elasticity, it shouldn't be necessary to upgrade
from 2.0.5a9.  As before, we're calling 2.0.5.a10 an "alpha" release
only because it (still!) includes some incomplete features related to
interfacial physics.  We encourage all users of versions earlier
than 2.0.5a9 to upgrade to 2.0.5a10.

On a happier note, OOF2 version 2.1 is nearly ready.  It can solve
nonlinear, time-dependent problems, including large-strain elasticity,
and includes a large number of other enhancements.  We'll announce it
on this e-mail list when it's available.

Sincerely,
   The OOF Developers
