- last OpenDX release/news was from 2007.
  Cannot maintain or verify if the writers are correct.

- extend the sampling concept to include surfMeshes and surfFields
  for storage.

- Note the createOnRead switch in surfMeshSamplers can be desirable in
  some situations to force creation of the surface faces within the
  constructor.

- isolate the surface source (plane, iso-surface etc), from sampling

  - Avoids the need for the 'OutputFilterFunctionObject' wrapper
  - Time-control for execution and writing is now provided by the
    'timeControlFunctionObject' which instantiates the processing
    'functionObject' and controls its operation.
  - Alternative time-control functionObjects can now be written and
    selected at run-time without the need to compile wrapped version of
    EVERY existing functionObject which would have been required in the
    old structure.
  - The separation of 'execute' and 'write' functions is now formalized in the
    'functionObject' base-class and all derived classes implement the
    two functions.
  - Unnecessary implementations of functions with appropriate defaults
    in the 'functionObject' base-class have been removed reducing
    clutter and simplifying implementation of new functionObjects.
  - The 'coded' 'functionObject' has also been updated, simplified and tested.
  - Further simplification is now possible by creating some general
    intermediate classes derived from 'functionObject'.

- checkMesh has option to write faceSets or (outside of) cellSets as
sampledSurface format. It automatically reconstructs the set on the master
and writes it to the postProcessing folder (as any sampledSurface). E.g.

    mpirun -np 6 checkMesh -allTopology -allGeometry -writeSets vtk -parallel

- fixed order writing of symmTensor in Ensight writers

- redistributePar to have almost (complete) functionality of decomposePar+reconstructPar
- low-level distributed Field mapping
- support for mapping surfaceFields (including flipping faces)
- support for decomposing/reconstructing refinement data

- New boundaryData surface writer
- Moved templated code into separate files
- Output filenames written to functionObjectState dictionary
- Ensight surface writer now supports a 'collate times' option [mattijs]
- Nastran surface writer updated based on user feedback

mapFields: Reinstated mapFields from OpenFOAM-2.2.x and renamed the current mapFields -> mapFieldsPar

This required the addition of the meshToMesh class in the sampling
library from OpenFOAM-2.2.x which is now named meshToMesh0.

interpolation method

- easier (more logical) when adding a new writer

ENH: add surface field  writer for 'starcd' format

- creates *.usr files, which can be read in proSTAR with the 'getuser'
  command, but which can also be parsed directly since the format is
  extremely primitive

ENH: near-wall sampling : new 'patchInternalField' sampledSurface, new 'nearWallFields' functionObject

sampledTriSurfaceMesh adds sampling on points/triangles of a triSurface(mesh).
All values outside mesh are set to 0.

- adjust code to more closely resemble sampledSets / sampledSurfaces
