Just in time for the holidays!

New in 1.57: generalized displacement maps to display arbitrary view
types; the arrows representing a vector field can now also be colored
by the values from other scalar, vector or tensor fields; new adaptive
high order visualization mode; new options (Solver.SocketCommand,
Solver.NameCommand, View.ArrowSizeProportional, View.Normals,
View.Tangents and General.ClipFactor); fixed display of undesired
solver plugin popups; enhanced interactive plugin behavior; new
plugins (HarmonicToTime, Integrate, Eigenvectors); tetrahedral mesh
file reading speedup (50% faster on large meshes); large memory
footprint reduction (up to 50%) for the visualization of
triangular/tetrahedral meshes; the solver interface now supports
TCP/IP connections; new generalized raise mode (allows to use complex
expressions to offset post-processing maps); upgraded Netgen kernel to
version 4.4; new optional TIME list in parsed views to specify the
values of the time steps; several bug fixes in the Elliptic mesh
algorithm; various other small bug fixes and enhancements.
