Dear FreeFem developers & users.

We are happy to announce a new stable release of the StabFem project. StabFem is a Matlab/Octave interface to FreeFem which allows to launch your programs, manipulate and plot your results, store and explore your data for postprocessing, and eventually publish all your work on a dedicated website.  
Initially developed for fluid instabiliy problems (hence the name), it has evolved into a generic interface which should allow to incorporate your own programs and adapt to your needs easily.

The website of the project, containing a number of examples, is here:

> **[StabFem](https://stabfem.gitlab.io/StabFem/)**

  
To undestand how it works, it is recommended to look at this simple tutorial example:  

> **[Tutorial example demonstrating the basic functionalities of the StabFem Software](https://stabfem.gitlab.io/StabFem/STABLE_CASES/EXAMPLE_Lshape/SCRIPT_Lshape.html)**

  
A manual is available here:  

> **[main.pdf](https://gitlab.com/stabfem/StabFem/-/jobs/848781676/artifacts/file/99_Documentation/MANUAL/main.pdf)**

The project is maintained on gitlab and can be downloaded/cloned from here:

> **[StabFem / StabFem](https://gitlab.com/stabfem/StabFem)**
>
> GitLab.com

We hope it can be useful to the community. Do not hesitate to test and give us feedback.

Best wishes  
David
