We are pleased to announce the release of Dune 2.4.1, the first point release in the 2.4 release series of the Dune core modules. This release mostly contains bug fixes for problems in the original 2.4.0 release, but also a number of backported ... [More] feature from the master development branch. For a list of the fixed bugs, new features and known issues take a look at the release notes. You can download the tarballs from our download page or checkout the v2.4.1 tag of the modules via git. Please go and test, and report the problems that you encounter. [Less]

Google Summer of Code 2016 We are happy to let you know, that DUNE has been accepted as a mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2016. Google is offering students stipends to write code for DUNE this summer. We have put together a ... [More] short list of possible project ideas, we had in mind. This list is not exclusive, so if you have a good idea, feel free to discuss with us. To get yourself used to DUNE, have a look at our junior jobs. We ask every student to solve at least one junior job prior to his application. Further information can be found on the official GSoC 2016 page of DUNE and our according user wiki page. [Less]

There is a new text on how to get started with Dune. We hope that it will be useful to many people.

Google Summer of Code 2016 We just finished the first half of this year's Google Summer of Code program, called mid-term. It is used to evaluate both the mentors and the student for Google. Two projects show great progress, one did not take off ... [More] and we had to fail the student: Xinyun's grid with spline geometries reached a milestone, the B-spline and NURBS geometry interfaces are almost done. Checkout the screenshots with according surfaces. Usually we don't see such smooth output with our methods.

Inspired by the cell-centered finite volume method described in the DUNE grid how-to, Michael re-implemented the scheme in Python using DUNE grids via his bindings.

A one week Dune and Dune::Fem school will be hosted at the IANS/University of Stuttgart. The intended audience of the course are M.Sc. and PhD students. The course will give an introduction to the Dune core modules including the Dune grid ... [More] interface. It will then proceed to the discretization of PDEs with the Dune::Fem toolbox. Further topics include the simulation of stationary and transient problems, including essentials of mesh-adaptivity and parallel computing. Dates: September 26 - 30, 2016 (Mo - Fr) Registration: Participants should register until end of August (see course page below). Fees: Workshop fees are 50 Euro in order to cover expenses for coffee breaks and course material. Course venue: Institute for Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation (IANS) Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany. Further information and a registration form can be found at the course page http://www.ians.uni-stuttgart.de/events/dune-fem-school-2016. [Less]
