This release includes, among other things, +various improvements in the handling of external libraries (and with that, +installations), discontinue the direct support for Fortran 77 (use Fortran +90 instead), and enable the C++ code in GRHydro by default. +In addition, bug fixes accumulated since the previous release in November +2014 have been included. + +The Einstein Toolkit is a collection of software components and tools for +simulating and analyzing general relativistic astrophysical systems that builds +on numerous software efforts in the numerical relativity community including +CactusEinstein, the Carpet AMR infrastructure and the relativistic +magneto-hydrodynamics code GRHydro. The Cactus Framework is used as the underlying +computational infrastructure providing large-scale parallelization, general +computational components, and a model for collaborative, portable code +development. The toolkit includes modules to build complete codes for +simulating black hole spacetimes as well as systems governed by relativistic +magneto-hydrodynamics. + +The Einstein Toolkit uses a distributed software model and its different +modules are developed, distributed, and supported either by the core team of +Einstein Toolkit Maintainers, or by individual groups.
