============
Changes: 3.1
============


.. rubric:: General:

-  PetscOptionsHasName() and PetscOptionsName() now return PETSC_TRUE
   if the options are set to any value, include false or 0. You may
   need to change some of your PetscOptionsXXName() to
   PetscOptionsXXTruth()
-  Added configure option --with-single-library that causes all PETSc
   code to be compiled into the single library libpetsc.XXX
-  PetscMap changed to PetscLayout and PetscMapInitialize() changed
   to PetscLayoutCreate() and it now allocates the space of the
   object.
-  In makefiles include ${PETSC_DIR}/conf/base is replaced with two
   lines include ${PETSC_DIR}/conf/variables and  include
   ${PETSC_DIR}/conf/rules
-  BlockSolve95 interface is removed
-  petsc.h and petscdef.h are replaced with petscsys.h and
   petscsysdef.h; while petsc.h now includes ALL PETSc include files.
-  win32fe [used for MS/Intel compiler builds on windows] now
   defaults to 'noautodetect' mode. However the previous behavior can
   be restored by using the option '--autodetect'. For eg:
   '--withcc=win32fe cl --autodetect'. This works primarily with old
   VC6/VC7/Intel8 etc compilers anyway.

.. rubric:: Logging:

-  PetscLogFlops(int) ->PetscLogFlops(PetscLogDouble). [check fortran
   usage]

.. rubric:: config/configure.py:

-  All ./configure options that state known values, so that
   ./configure doesn't try to test for them. Often used with the
   --with-batch option now begin with --known-

.. rubric:: IS:

.. rubric:: Vec:

.. rubric:: VecScatter:

.. rubric:: Mat:

-  MatGetSubMatrix:

   -  Now takes a parallel IS for the columns, the csize argument has
      been dropped. The local part of this IS corresponds to the
      local columns of the new submatrix.

-  MatGetSubMatrixRaw

   -  Removed, use MatGetSubMatrix

-  Changed name of option MAT_KEEP_ZEROED_ROWS to
   MAT_KEEP_NONZERO_PATTERN to more clearly indicate what it does.
-  Added MAT_SHARE_NONZERO_PATTERN as option for MatDuplicate() this
   allows several matrices to share the same data structures for the
   nonzeros and thus save memory.
-  The function provided to MatNullSpaceSetFunction() now takes a
   MatNullSpace() as the first argument. Added Fortran interface for
   this function as well.
-  Removed MatPBRelax() merged its functionality into MatRelax()
-  Changed MatRelax() to MatSOR() to match MatSORType() and PCSOR
-  Removed requirement that rows be sorted in
   MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays() and MatMPIAIJSetPreallocationCSR().
-  Changed MATOP_DIAGONAL_SHIFT to MATOP_DIAGONAL_SET to match
   function name MatDiagonalSet().
-  MATMPIROWBS i.e BlockSolve95 interface is now removed.

.. rubric:: PC:

-  PCShell All user-provided functions now have PC as first argument
   instead of the application context. Users should obtain the
   context with PCShellGetContext, similar to MatShell.
-  Removed -pc_asm_in_place and PCASMSetUseInPlace() since the option
   made no sense
-  PCApplyRichardson() has an additional argument indicating if the
   initial guess being passed in is nonzero. SOR will save some work
   if it is zero.
-  MatSetBlockSize() is no longer an error for BAIJ matrices, but the
   argument must be the same as when the matrix was preallocated.
-  PCFactorSetPivoting() renamed to PCFactorSetColumnPivot()
-  Replaced PCFactorSetShiftNonzero(), PCFactorSetShiftPd() and
   PCFactorSetShiftInBlocks() with PCFactorSetShiftType() and
   PCFactorSetShiftAmount(). Replaced -pc_factor_shift_nonzero,
   -pc_factor_shift_positive_definite and -pc_factor_shift_in_blocks
   with -pc_factor_shift_type <shifttype> and -pc_factor_shift_amount
   <shiftamount>.
-  Added PCREDISTRIBUTE for load balancing and removal of Dirichlet
   degrees of freedom.

.. rubric:: KSP:

-  Added KSPCGUseSingleReduction() -ksp_cg_single_reduction;
   recommended for use with many processors when VecDot() starts to
   take a large amount of time, Requires 2 extra work vectors.
-  Added KSPGCR (Generalized Conjugate Residuals), a flexible method
   (like FGMRES) providing inexpensive residuals.

.. rubric:: SNES:

.. rubric:: TS:

-  Rename TS_EULER, TS_BEULER, etc like TSEULER for consistency with
   other packages.
-  Add Theta and General Linear time integrators (TSTHETA, TSGL).
   These can be used for solving differential algebraic equations
   (DAE) using the new TSSetIFunction() and TSSetIJacobian().
-  Add TSSSP which implements optimal strong stability preserving
   time integrators of order 2, 3, and 4 using a low-storage explicit
   Runge-Kutta scheme.
-  Change TSSetPreStep() and TSSetPostStep() to run before and after
   each step instead of before and after each solve.

.. rubric:: DA:

-  DAGetColoring() now takes a MatType as an additional argument,
   should be MATAIJ or MATBAIJ
-  Added DARefineHierarchy(), DMMG now always uses DMRefineHierarchy
   to generate refined grids. Added options
   -da_refine_hierarchy_[xyz] to allow semi-coarsening at some levels
   of the hierarchy.
-  DASetCoordinates() now references the vector, so the user should
   release their reference by calling VecDestroy().

.. rubric:: DMMG:

.. rubric:: PetscViewer:

.. rubric:: SYS:

-  PetscSleep(), PetscDrawGetPause(), and PetscDrawSetPause() now
   take PetscReal instead of int. Also, -draw_pause takes a real
   value.
-  PetscRandomGetValueImaginary() is removed. To get a complex number
   with only a random imaginary part first call
   PetscRandomSetInterval() with the same low and high real part.
   Similarly one can obtain a complex number with only a random real
   part by setting the low and high imaginary part to be the same.

.. rubric:: AO:

.. rubric:: Sieve:

.. rubric:: Fortran:

-  Removed the old compiler dependent implementation of f90 interface
   sources in favor of the new compiler independent implementation.
   Consequently the configure option --with-f90-interface is removed.
   And the f90 interface is automatically built - if an f90 compiler
   is detected. [this is the default behavior before this change
   as well]
-  use petsc and use petscdef are now use petscsys and use
   petscsysdef

.. rubric:: ExternalPackages:

-  Added MATORDERING_AMD for Tim Davis' Approximate Minimum Degree
   package.
