11 OpenFOAM-1.7.1 is the latest release of OpenFOAM derived from OpenFOAM-1.7.0
12 including a number of bug-fixes and new developments. This release passes our
13 standard tests and the tutorials have been broadly checked. Please report any
14 bugs by following the link: http://www.openfoam.com/bugs.
17 This release of OpenFOAM is distributed primarily in 2 ways: (1) as a Debian
18 pack containing binaries and source; (2) from the SourceForge source code
19 repository (see [[./README.org][README]]).
21 The Ubuntu/Debian pack is available for 32 and 64 bit versions of the 10.04
22 LTS operating system using the system compiler and libraries that will be
23 installed automatically from standard Debian packs.
25 To use the source version from the SourceForge repository, we provide a source
26 pack of third-party packages that can be compiled on the user's system. This
27 does not include =gcc=, since the system installed version is typically
28 sufficient, but includes =paraview-3.8.0=, =openmpi-1.4.1=, =scotch_5.1=,
29 =metis-5.0pre2=, =ParMetis-3.1= and =ParMGridGen-1.0=.
32 OpenFOAM-1.7.1 now compiles and optimises correctly using gcc-4.5.0 following
33 the resolution of memory aliasing issues.
