Change Log for FreeFOAM

Use HTTP redirects for non-free downloads to have permanent URLs in the code

No need to patch METIS anymore

Minor fixes in Python code

Convince AsciiDoc a2x not copy the resource files as this is handled manually

AsciiDoc renamed some files, adjust to that

Fix the nanoNozzle tutorial

Require CMake-2.8.2 and simplify ThirdParty downloading

Fix the documentation of the parRunTemplate variables in etc/controlDict

Unhide the terminal cursor after running the tutorials

Fix freefoam-log, add a -case option

Pass -parallel only once when running the tutorials

Resolve linking issues

Force linking against certain libraries when --as-needed is effective

Remove unnecessary calls to find_package for privately built dependencies

Fix invalid HTML in docs

Improve API documentation

Merged with upstream (OpenFOAM-1.6.x and OpenFOAM-1.7.x), up to revision linkrepo:openfoam17[d08d3c].

Changed API-doc URL to be versioned.

Updated the design of the API-doc to match the homepage.

Generate a doc-index mapping application names to HTML file names.

Removed obsolete shell scripts.

Create manpages from the header comments.

Updated/fixed/extended header comments.

Added manpages for the scripts.

Translated all scripts to Python.

foamCalc accepts options properly.

Added work-arounds for old GCC compilers (pre-4.4).

Removed the ParaView plugins.

Reworked build system.

metisDecomp and scotchDecomp were extracted into separate libraries.

zlib can now be auto-downloaded and built if not available.

Print a spiffy feature summary after the configuration finished.

Added a rudimentary wmake compatibility layer and a simplistic wmake-to-CMake conversion script.

Drive the tutorial-cases using CTest.

Added template script for setting up a CDash client.

Removed gammaPstream as Gamma appears to be dead.

Ported the online OpenFOAM-UserGuide to AsciiDoc source and create XHTML and PDF documents from it.

Fixed various static initialization issues.

Fixed many minor bugs and added numerous small improvements.

Improved building of METIS and ParMetis (no non-standard headers and feature detection of mallinfo).

Improved detection of backtrace() and backtrace_symbols() availability.

Improved detection of SIGFPE handling capabilities.

More flexible -doc and -srcDoc options using an index file. It is now possible to use the online documentation and have FreeFOAM output the location of the documentation file instead of trying to open it using a browser.

Fixed some bugs in the build system and some utility scripts.

Merged with upstream (OpenFOAM-1.5.x), up to revision linkrepo:openfoam[5f9a16].

Fixed typo in new dummyPrintStack.C.

Only print stack trace if the system supports it and then only don’t try to shell-escape and use addr2line for file/line information.

Use full version number for default installation directory names and use the hyphen to separate it from the directory name instead of creating a subdirectory.

Configure global.C instead of using preporcessor defines. This solves unnecessary recompiles of the complete OpenFOAM library.

CMake based build system

New, automatically created include-structure in the build tree, corresponding to the install tree:

<binary_dir>/
  include/
    OpenFOAM/
      Scalar.H -> includes <source_dir>/src/OpenFOAM/primitives/Scalar/Scalar.H
      Scalar.C -> includes <source_dir>/src/OpenFOAM/primitives/Scalar/Scalar.C
      ..
    finiteVolume/
      ..
    compressibleRASModels/
      ..
    incompressibleRASModels/
      ..
    compressibleLESModels/
      ..
    incompressibleLESModels/
      ..
    ..

All source files (with a few exceptions) use the new #include <libname/filename> scheme

Renamed files/directories with ambiguous names (distinguish only through capitalization)

Applied B. Gschaider’s Mac OS X Patches versions 1 and 3

Made the interfaces of sig{Fpe,Int,Quit,Segv} OS-agnostic

Moved Pstream implementations into loadable modules

Configurable search path for plugins

Removed all dependencies on environment variables

Removed wmake build system and shell init scripts

Removed obsolete, useless and black-magick scripts from bin/

Adapted Doxygen creation to FreeFOAM

Use a user-configurable template string for running parallel jobs with foamJob

Moved non-essential utility scripts to data/utilities

Moved bin/tools into data/shellFunctions

Turned bin/{newSource,newSourceTemplate} into shell-functions

Added ~FreeFOAM/ to be expanded like ~OpenFOAM/

Improved dotFoam() search for config files

Rebranded source templates, Doxygen doc, IOobject::writeBanner() and the scripts in bin/

Do not run XiFoam/moriyoshiHomogeneousPart2 when testing
