# Changes: 2.0.16
```{rubric} General:
```
- Added the option -compare option for incremental debugging; see
the users manual for more details.
- Added tags file so that vi users can easily browse PETSc source
files (just as emacs users already can by using etags). See the
users manual subsection "VI users" for details.
- We have stopped distributing the Unix-style manpages with PETSc.
Instead, we now only distribute the HTML version. You can still
access the man pages with the command \$PETSC_DIR/bin/petscman.
Alternatively, you can directly view \$PETSC_DIR/docs/www/www.html.
```{rubric} TS (Timestepping Solvers):
```
```{rubric} SNES (Nonlinear Solvers):
```
- You can now attach several SNES monitoring routines with
SNESMonitorSet() instead of only one as previously allowed.
Similarly, multiple monitors can be used from the options database
(e.g., -snes_monitor and -snes_xmonitor).
```{rubric} SLES (Linear Solvers):
```
- See PC and KSP
```{rubric} KSP (Krylov Subspace Methods):
```
- You can now attach several KSP monitoring routines with
KSPSetMonitor() instead of only one as previously allowed.
Similarly, multiple monitors can be used from the options database
(e.g., -ksp_monitor and -ksp_xmonitor).
```{rubric} PC (Preconditioners):
```
```{rubric} MAT (Matrices):
```
- Added the routines MatSetValuesLocal(), MatZeroRowsLocal() and
MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping() to enable the user to set values in a
matrix using a local numbering of the nodes rather than a global
numbering.
- Added the option MAT_IGNORE_OFF_PROC_ENTRIES for MatSetOption(),
which causes all entries on any processor destined to be stored on
a different processor to be dropped instead. This is useful if you
know that the "owning" processor is also always generating the
correct entries, so PETSc need not ship over the duplicate entry
generated on another processor. -
- Added options MAT_COLUMNS_UNSORTED and MAT_ROWS_UNSORTED for
MatSetOption() to enable switching betwen sorted and unsorted
input.
```{rubric} DA (Distributed Arrays):
```
```{rubric} VEC (Vectors):
```
- Changed the SCATTER_ALL argument in VecScatterXXX() routines to
SCATTER_FORWARD.
- Added the routines VecSetValuesLocal() and
VecSetLocalToGlobalMapping() to allow the user to set values into
a vector using a local numbering of the nodes rather than a global
numbering.
- Added the routine
VecSetOption(Vec,VEC_IGNORE_OFF_PROCESSOR_ENTRIES,PETSC_TRUE),
which causes all entries on any processor destined to be stored on
a different processor to be dropped instead. This is useful if you
know that the "owning" processor is also always generating the
correct entries, so PETSc need not transfer the duplicate entries
generated on another processor.
```{rubric} IS (Index Sets):
```
```{rubric} Draw (Graphics):
```
- The numbers on the axis plots are much improved.
- You can now pass PETSC_DECIDE as the x and y arguments in
DrawOpenX() and ViewerDrawOpenX() to let PETSc place
non-overlapping windows on the display.
```{rubric} Viewers:
```
```{rubric} System Routines:
```
- Added routines PetscSynchronizedPrintf(MPI_Comm,format,args) and
PetscSynchronizedFlush(MPI_Comm), which allow groups of processes
to print to stdout as one would expect. I.e., the output from
processor 0 is followed by the output from processor 1, etc. Very
useful during code development. This can often be a substitute for
attempting to sequentialize printf() statements via
PetscSequentialPhaseBegin() and PetscSequentialPhaseEnd(). -
- Added the command line option -options_file \<file> that causes all
options in the specified file to be treated as if they were typed
on the command line.
- Added the option -log_trace [filename] (and the corresponding
routine PLogTraceBegin()) that allows tracing of all PETSc calls;
useful to see where a program is hanging without running in the
debugger. Can be used in conjunction with the -log_info option.
- Added PetscRandomSetInterval() to enable the user to set an
interval over which random numbers will be uniformly distributed.
```{rubric} Event Logging:
```
```{rubric} Fortran Interface:
```
- Added the Fortran interface for VecDuplicateVecs(),
VecDestroyVecs(), VecMAXPY(), VecMDot(), and VecMTDot().
