Added posix_memalign fix by @pipping (!43 (merged)) and merged backported suitesparse test (!40 (merged)).

Please consider also flyspray/FS#185 (closed).

Please consider back-porting 45797c46 as GCC 6 will yell about this.

@gruenich: As much as I'd like to, but the noexcept operator is not supported in GCC 4.4, and we only have a test for the noexcept specifier.

I fixed flyspray/FS#185 (closed).

But we need the noexcept specifier, not the operator, so it should be possible to backport the commit. Or am I mistaken?

I was mixing up things, I meant the argument vs. the no-argument version of the noexcept specifier, because I thought that 4.6 supported the latter, but not the former. But I just checked, and it supports both. So I'll do the backport.

Marked the task !46 (merged) [CMake] Rewrite C++ standard detection - provided that it gets picked up for master as completed

It would be great if !19 (merged) could also be backported.

Backported !19 (merged).

I successfully tested the RC2 tarballs with GCC6 [trunk revision 233076]. I included Alberta, dune-ALUGrid, MPI, ParMETIS, SuperLU, UMFPack, UG. I built various tests from the modules, same for PDELab 2.4.1-RC1 and DuMuX.

@gruenich: Thanks for all the work! Good to hear that I didn't manage to break everything...

Marked the task #15 (closed) / #16 (closed) Handling of newer C++ versions by the build system as completed

Would be nice to have MR !60 (merged) cherry-picked for the release.

Marked the task !60 (merged) [scotch] Fixes finding static scotch metis bindings as completed

@markus.blatt: Done

2.4.1 is out

Status changed to closed
