Welcome to VisIt's release notes page. This page describes the important enhancements and bug-fixes that were added to this release.
Features added in version 1.4.3
VisIt can now connect to simulation codes that have been instrumented with the VisIt Engine Wrapper Library (VEWL). The VEWL allows simulation codes to act as VisIt compute engines, responding to commands from VisIt and producing plottable data using the resources and memory allocated by the simulation code. VisIt can connect to a simulation, plot its data, and later disconnect, leaving the simulation to continue.
VisIt has a new Simulations window, which is similar in concept to the Compute Engines window but shows information for simulations, which is a superset of the information shown for compute engines. The Simulations window can show progress and more detailed metadata about a simulation. The Simulations window also provides buttons that allow the user to execute simulation-defined actions such as stop, resume, dump a file, etc. For more information on instrumenting your simulation code with the VEWL, contact the VisIt team at visit-users@ornl.gov.
