1 Release Notes for FreeFOAM version {fullver}
2 ============================================
3 Michael Wild <themiwi@users.sourceforge.net>
4 v{fullver}, {localdate}
7 http://freefoam.sourceforge.net
9 FreeFOAM is a cross-platform toolkit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
10 based on http://openfoam.org[OpenFOAM(R)]. It is geared towards "freeing"
11 OpenFOAM from its system dependence, enabling it to run natively on a variety
12 of operating systems. Currently it still requires a Unix-like environment.
13 FreeFOAM has been tested to build (and partially to run) on
15 * http://www.debian.org[Debian GNU/Linux] 4.0
16 * http://www.opensuse.org[OpenSUSE] 10.3
17 * http://www.centos.org[CentOS] 5.2 (running on a
18 http://www.rocksclusters.org[Rocks Cluster] 5.1)
19 * http://www.apple.com/macosx[Mac OS X] 10.5 Leopard(R)
21 FreeFOAM uses the excellent cross-platform build system
22 http://cmake.org[CMake] thanks to which FreeFOAM can now be installed just like
23 any other software and doesn't depend on a slew of shell init scripts and a
24 huge number of environment variables to build and run, making live easier for
25 system administrators and users alike.
27 This release candidate 4 of FreeFOAM {ver} is only intended for testing
28 purposes. Refer to the enclosed link:README.html[README] file for
