============
Changes: 3.2
============


.. rubric:: General:

-  --download-c-blas-lapack is replaced with --download-f2cblaslapack
-  --with-precision=__float128 --download-f2cblaslapack is now
   support for newish GNU gcc compiler
-  Calling sequence of PetscBinarRead.m has been changed
-  All XXXDestroy() functions now take a pointer to the object itself
   so that it can be nullified after destruction.
-  PetscError() and SETERRQX() now take a MPI_Comm as the first
   argument to indicate where the error is known. If you don't know
   what communicator use then pass in PETSC_COMM_SELF
-  Added PetscObjectAddOptionsHandler() that allows adding new
   routines to any object that are called to process options when
   XXXSetFromOptions() is called.
-  Changed PetscTruth to PetscBool, PETSC_TRUTH to PETSC_BOOL,
   PetscOptionsTruth to PetscOptionsBool, etc.
-  Introduced PetscCopyMode
-  Changed -log_history to -history and PetscLogOpenHistory()
   PetscLogCloseHistory() to PetscOpenHistory(), PetscCloseHistory()
   because "log" is reserved for related to the performance logging
-  Changed PetscOptionsPrint() to PetscOptionsView()
-  Changed PetscLogPrintSummary() to PetscLogView()
-  Using gcc 4.6 you can now ./configure --with-precision=__float128
   --download-qblaslapack to get computations in quad precision.
   gfortran 4.6 is also supported. Warning some of the PETSc printing
   of numbers in some places will print garbage. I haven't figured
   out a way to handle the %G format. Can be run in parallel :-)
-  PetscFListFind() now takes a searchlibraries flag, if this is set
   and the function is NOT found in the function list then the
   libraries and executable are searched (when shared or dynamic
   libraries are used). Previously it always search the libraries and
   executables if not found in the list.
-  PetscOpenMPxxx() utilities are now PetscHMPIxxx() for hierarchical
   MPI, the previous name was bad

.. rubric:: Logging:

-  PetscCookie changed to PetscClassId in all forms.

.. rubric:: config/configure.py:

-  --with-64-bit-pointers option removed. It doesn't work properly
   anyway. The user should specify the correct 32bit or 64bit
   compilers to configure. For eg:
   ``configure --with-cc='gcc -m64'             --with-fc='gfortran -m64'``
-  Python requirement is changed from 2.2 to 2.3
-  Changed --with-shared to --with-shared-libraries,
   --known-mpi-shared to --known-mpi-shared-libraries and
   --with-dynamic to --with-dynamic-loading
-  'ifneeded' support removed. '--download-package=ifneeded' should
   now be '--download-package'
-  The make macro PETSC_INCLUDE has been replaced by
   PETSC_CC_INCLUDES and PETSC_FC_INCLUDES for C and Fortran,
   respectively.

.. rubric:: IS:

-  ISBlock(),ISStride() are removed. Use
   PetscTypeCompare((PetscObject)is,ISBLOCK,&flag),
   PetscTypeCompare((PetscObject)is,ISSTRIDE,&flag) instead.
-  Added ISCreate(), ISSetType(), ISRegister() etc to match style of
   other PETSc objects. Also added ISGeneralSetIndices(),
   ISBlockSetIndices(), ISStrideSetStride()
-  ISCreateGeneral() and ISCreateBlock() now takes PetscCopyMode as
   an argument and hence ISCreateGeneralNC() and
   ISCreateGeneralWithArray() are not needed and removed. Use
   ISCreateGeneral() with the argument PETSC_OWN_POINTER and
   PETSC_USE_POINTER instead.
-  ISLocalToGlobalMappingCreate() now takes PetscCopyMode as an
   additional argument and ISLocalToGlobalMappingCreateNC() is no
   longer needed and removed
-  ISStrideToGeneral() is replaced with ISToGeneral() that works for
   all basic IS types.
-  ISCreateBlock() now takes indexing relative to block, no longer
   relative to element. This is to match the paradigm of
   Vec/MatSetValuesBlocked()
-  ISBlockGetBlockSize() is now ISGetBlockSize(). Block sizes can be
   set for conforming ISGENERAL and ISSTRIDE using ISSetBlockSize().
-  ISAllGatherIndices() is removed, use ISCreateGeneral() then
   ISAllGather().

.. rubric:: PF:

-  The source array is marked constant in PFApply and the callback.

.. rubric:: Vec:

-  changed VecSqrt() to VecSqrtAbs()
-  VecLoad() and VecLoadIntoVector() have been merged into a single
   NEW VecLoad() that takes a partially constructed vector as input
   and loads according to any type or sizes that have previously been
   set into the Vec.
-  VecDestroyVecs(PetscInt n,Vec \**) instead of
   VecDestroyVecs(Vec**,PetscInt n), also VecDestroyVecsF90(PetscInt
   n,{Vec, pointer :: x},PetscErrorCode ierr)
-  VecLoad() does NOT access the options database to check for the
   VecType, call VecSetFromOptions() first if you wish to check it.
-  VecDestroyVecs() now takes the pointer to the first array and
   zeros it on return
-  VecDestroy() now zeros the pointer to the destroyed vector so it
   cannot be reused
-  VecDestroyVecs(PetscInt n,Vec \**) instead of
   VecDestroyVecs(Vec**,PetscInt n)

.. rubric:: VecScatter:

-  The ghost indices for VecCreateGhostBlock() and
   VecCreateGhostBlockWithArray() are now by block instead of by
   entry.

.. rubric:: Mat:

-  MAT_SOLVER_XXX is now MATSOLVERXXX
-  MAT_PARTIONING_XXX is now MATPARTITIONINGXXX
-  MATCOLORING_XXX is now MATCOLORINGXXX
-  MATORDERING_XXX is now MATORDERINGXXX
-  It is an error to call MatSetOption() before the implementation
   has been created (after MatSetSizes() and MatSetType()). Formerly,
   options were silently ignored in this circumstance.
-  Added MatSetMumpsIcntl()
-  MatLoad() now takes a created Mat as input (and no longer a Mat
   type), if you provide the size and type in the Mat then that is
   used other defaults are used.
-  MATCRL -> MATAIJCRL, MATSEQCRL -> MATSEQAIJCRL, MATMPICRL ->
   MATMPIAIJCRL
-  MatCreateSeqCRL() -> MatCreateSeqAIJCRL() MatCreateMPICRL() ->
   MatCreateMPIAIJCRL()
-  MATCSRPERM -> MATAIJPERM, MATSEQCSRPERM -> MATSEQAIJPERM,
   MATMPICSRPERM -> MATMPIAIJPERM
-  MatCreateSeqCSRPERM() -> MatCreateSeqAIJPERM()
   MatCreateMPICSRPERM() -> MatCreateMPIAIJPERM()
-  Added MatZeroRowsColumns() and MatZeroRowsColumnsIS().
-  MatZeroRows() and MatZeroRowsIS() now take an x and b vector as
   optional arguments; if these are provided then the b[idx[i]] is
   set to diag*x[idx[i]]] for all rows listed in idx[].
-  MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping() and MatSetLocalToGlobalMappingBlock()
   now take separate row and column maps. MatPreallocateSetLocal()
   has an extra argument for the column mapping.
-  MatLoad() does NOT access the options database to check for the
   MatType, call MatSetFromOptions() first if you wish to check it.
-  Removed MatMFFDSetFromOptions() since one can call
   MatSetFromOptions()
-  MatGetLocalMat() and MatGetLocalMatCondensed() are now
   MatMPIAIJGetLocalMat() and MatMPIAIJGetLocalMatCondensed()
-  MatOption MAT_USE_COMPRESSEDROW changed to
   MAT_CHECK_COMPRESSED_ROW

.. rubric:: PC:

-  PCFieldSplitSetIS() and PCFieldSplitSetFields() now take a
   split-name parameter which is used to define the options database
   keys.
-  CHOLMOD can be used for Cholesky factorization using AIJ or
   SBAIJ(1) matrix formats.
-  PCREDUNDANT now uses the inner KSP with the inner PC. Default is
   still preonly for KSP and LU for PC so default behavior is the
   same but now you can use for example -redundant_ksp_gmres.
   PCRedundantGetPC() is now changed to PCRedundantGetKSP()
-  The header "petscmg.h" is renamed to "petscpcmg.h", "petscasa.h"
   is renamed to "petscpcasa.h".
-  The preconditioner PCBFBT has been removed. The same functionality
   is available in PCFIELDSPLIT.
-  PCOPENMP is now PCHMPI and its prefix is now -hmpi\_ for
   heirarchical MPI
-  PCMGSetGalerkin() has a second argument of type PetscBool.

.. rubric:: KSP:

-  KSPSetPreconditionerSide() changed to KSPSetPCSide() to match name
   of second argument
-  -ksp_right_pc -ksp_left_pc changed to -ksp_pc_side
   left,right,symmetric to match KSPSetPCSide()
-  Added KSPGMRESGetRestart() and KSPGMRESGetCGSRefinementType()
-  Added KSPGMRESGetOrthogonalization()
-  KSPAddOptionsChecker() is replaced with
   PetscObjectAddOptionsHandler()
-  Added KSPSPECEST which estimates the spectrum on the first solve
   and uses it to configure a reduction-free method for subsequent
   solves, intended for use when reductions are expensive such as
   levels of multigrid.

.. rubric:: SNES:

-  Added SNESLineSearchSetMonitor() and -snes_ls_monitor.
-  Add SNESKSPONLY, for solving linear problems with SNES.
-  Added the minlambda argument to SNESLineSearchGetParams() and
   SNESLineSearchSetParams().

.. rubric:: TS:

-  Rename TSCRANK_NICHOLSON to TSCN and TSRUNGE_KUTTA to TSRK for
   consistency.
-  TSSetIFunction() and TSSetRHSFunction() have an additional
   argument for the vector to compute the function value in. If
   PETSC_NULL is used, then one is created by the TS.
-  TSSetMatrices() has been removed, use TSSetIFunction() and
   TSSetRHSFunction(), perhaps providing Jacobian matrices and
   TSComputeRHSFunctionLinear() and/or
   TSComputeRHSJacobianConstant(). See
   src/ts/examples/tutorials/ex{2,4,5,6}.c for an example.
-  Added TSARKIMEX: additive Runge-Kutta implicit-explicit methods
   for multi-rate systems.
-  Changed TSStep() interface to only perform one step, added
   TSSolve() to perform multiple steps with callbacks and monitors if
   desired.
-  Added TSSetExactFinalTime(), replaces
   TSSundialsSetExactFinalTime().

.. rubric:: DM/DA:

-  Change array argument of DAGetArray and related functions from
   void*\* to void\* to avoid the need for an explicit cast (the
   argument still has the meaning of a pointer to d-dimensionally
   indexed array of user-defined node type, old code will still
   compile correctly but the cast is no longer necessary).
-  DAGetCoordinates(), DAGetGhostedCoordinates(), and
   DAGetCoordinateDA() now return borrowed references. The returned
   object should not be destroyed by the user.
-  Added DAVecGetArrayF90()
-  Changed DASetVertexDivision to DASetOwnershipRanges
-  The SDA object and all its method have been removed
-  The DA, ADDA, Slice and DMComposite objects are now all
   represented by a DM object.
-  Routines that began with ADDA and Slice now begin with DMADDA and
   DMSlice
-  DA/ADDA/Slice/DMCompositeGetMatrix() -> DMGetMatrix(), similar for
   all other routines that have a DM version
-  Removed DASetType(), DARegister() etc since they will all be
   handled via DMSetType() etc
-  Added DMSetUp() that is called, for example, after all the
   parameters are passed to the DM object to actually construct the
   data structures; replace all calls to DASetType() with calls to
   DMSetUp()
-  DAXXX() routines are now either DMXXX() or DMDAXXX() see
   petscdmda.h for details
-  The operation DALocalToGlobal() which performed no communication
   can now be performed with DMLocalToGlobalBegin/End() with
   INSERT_VALUES.
-  petscda.h, petscdadef.h and petscda.h90 are now petscdmda.h,
   petscdmdadef.h, and petscdmda.h90
-  DAGetISLocalToGlobalMapping() and
   DAGetISLocalToGlobalMappingBlck() are now
   DMGetLocalToGlobalMapping() and DMGetLocalToGlobalMappingBlock()
   and are collective since they may be constructed lazily.
-  DMGetBlockSize() is added.
-  Changed DMDAPeriodicType to DMDABoundaryType, and changed this
   enum to only specify one boundary (one for each dimension). This
   enum is now one of DMDA_BOUNDARY_NONE, DMDA_BOUNDARY_GHOSTED, or
   DMDA_BOUNDARY_PERIODIC. See DMDABoundaryType man page for more.
-  DMDASetPeriodicity() is now DMDASetBoundaryType(), and API is
   changed to take three DMDABoundaryType arguments.
-  Changed API for DMDACreate*D(), DMDAGetInfo() to take the correct
   number of DMDABoundaryType enums for the dimension.
-  DMDASetGhostedCoordinates() is added to set coordinates of
   non-periodic ghost cells.

.. rubric:: DMMG:

.. rubric:: PetscViewer:

-  PETSC_VIEWER_XXX is now PETSCVIEWERXXX
-  Added PetscViewerASCIIOpenWithFILE() and PetscViewerASCIISetFILE()
-  Added PetscViewerASCIISynchronizedAllow() which must be called
   before using PetscViewerASCIISynchronizedPrintf()

.. rubric:: SYS:

-  PetscOptionsAtoi(),PetscOptionsAtod(),PetscOptionsAtol() ->
   PetscOptionsStringToInt(), PetscOptionsStringToReal(),
   PetscOptionsStringToBool()
-  PetscFListFind() takes an additional argument to look up the
   symbol in dynamically loaded libraries if not already in the list.
-  Added PetscBagSetOptionsPrefix(), which allows a prefix for the
   option names of bag items.
-  The preloading macros as well as developer-level logging and
   profiling functions have been namespaced, e.g. PreLoadBegin() is
   now PetscPreLoadBegin().
