[Gmsh-announce] New Gmsh release: 1.58

[Christophe Geuzaine]

There is an annoying bug in Gmsh 1.57 that makes the solver interface
unusable on Windows. So, fresh from the New Year celebrations, here is
version 1.58, which fixes that problem and also contains many small
enhancements in the graphical user interface.

As usual, you can download the new version from http://geuz.org/gmsh/.


New in 1.58: fixed UNIX socket interface on Windows (broken by the TCP
solver patch in 1.57); bumped version number of default
post-processing file formats to 1.3 (the only small modification is
the handling of the end-of-string character for text2d and text3d
objects in the ASCII format); new File->Rename menu; new
colormaps+improved colormap handling; new color+min/max options in
views; new GetValue() function to ask for values interactively in
scripts; generalized For/EndFor loops in parser; new plugins
(Annotate, Remove, Probe); new text attributes in views; renamed some
shortcuts; fixed TeX output for large scenes; new option dialogs for
various output formats; fixed many small memory leaks in parser; many
small enhancements to polish the graphics and the user interface.
