<h2>NEW FEATURES and <a name="CHANGES">CHANGES</a> in PETSc 2.0.22</h2>
</div>
<h4>General:</h4>
<ul>
<li>
The Fortran90-specific routines such as <code>VecGetArrayF90()</code>
now work with the IBM Fortran compiler, the SGI Fortran 90 compiler,
and the Cray T3E Fortran compiler.
</li>
<li>
The third argument for the Fortran versions of the routines
<code>VecGetArray()/VecRestoreArray(),</code>
<code>ISGetIndices()/ISRestoreIndices(),
MatGetArray()/MatRestoreArray()</code> and
<code>DAGetGlobalIndices()</code> has been changed from
<code>integer</code> to <code>PetscOffset</code>. See
src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex5f.F for example usage.
</li>
<li>
Changed the location of the manual pages from docs/www/www.html and
docs/www to <code>docs/manualpages/manualpages.html</code> and
<code>docs/manualpages</code>.
</li>
<li>
The location of the mpiuni include files (used in the base.site file
when not compiling with an MPI) has moved from
<code>src/mpiuni</code> to <code>src/sys/src/mpiuni</code>
</li>
<li>
Added the option <code>-log_summary_exclude <vec,mat,sles,snes></code> to
limit the information printed in the summary table
</li>
<li>Added the option <code>-log_info_exclude <vec,mat,sles,snes></code></li>
<li>
Changed the calling sequences of <code>PetscGetTime(),
PetscGetCPUTime(), PetscGetFlops()</code> to return error codes
like all other PETSc functions.
</li>
<li>
Changed the internal structure of the PETSc objects. This will not
effect most users but makes PETSc more extensible for the
future.
</li>
<li>
Removed the PETSc object child support and replaced it with
<ul>
<li><code>PetscObjectCompose(PetscObject,char *name,PetscObject);</code></li>
<li><code>PetscObjectQuery(PetscObject,char *name,PetscObject *);</code></li>
<li><code>PetscObjectComposeFunction(PetscObject,char *name, void *);</code></li>
<li><code>PetscObjectQueryFunction(PetscObject,char *name,void **);</code></li>
</ul>
These allow the user to attach objects and functions to any PETSc object.
</li>
<li>
Added a feeble example that demonstrates how to manage partitioning
a grid in parallel in <code>src/mat/examples/tutorials/ex2.c</code>
</li>
<li>
The build command 'make all' in ${PETSC_DIR} will build the PETSc
libraries, including the fortran interface.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>AO (Application Orderings):</h4>
<h4>TS (Timestepping Solvers):</h4>
<ul>
<li>The calling sequence of <code>TSSetType()</code> has changed; see the manual page.</li>
<li><code>TSType</code> is now a string, rather than enum type</li>
</ul>
<h4>SNES (Nonlinear Solvers):</h4>
<ul>
<li>The calling sequence of <code>SNESSetType()</code> has changed; see the manual page.</li>
<li><code>SNESType</code> is now a string, rather than enum type</li>
</ul>
<h4>SLES (Linear Solvers):</h4>
<ul>
<li>See PC and KSP</li>
</ul>
<h4>KSP (Krylov Subspace Methods):</h4>
<ul>
<li>The calling sequence of <code>KSPSetType()</code> has changed; see the manual page.</li>
<li><code>KSPType</code> is now a string, rather than enum type.</li>
</ul>
<h4>PC (Preconditioners):</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Added two new PC classes, <code>PCSLES</code> and
<code>PCCOMPOSITE</code> that allow use of any
<code>SLES</code> object as a preconditioner and enable combining
several preconditioners.
</li>
<li>The calling sequence of <code>PCSetType()</code> has changed; see the manual page.</li>
<li><code>PCType</code> is now a string, rather than enum type.</li>
</ul>
<h4>MAT (Matrices):</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Added support for partitioning using the ParMETIS parallel
partitioning package, see the manual page for
<code>PartitioningCreate()</code>
</li>
<li>Added <code>MatGetColumnVector()</code></li>
<li>Added argument column size to <code>MatGetSubMatrix()</code></li>
<li>
Changed the memory allocation algorithm in
<code>MatLUFactorSymbolic()</code> and
<code>MatILUFactorSymbolic()</code> based on a suggestion by David
Hysom of ODU.
</li>
<li>
The third argument for the Fortran version of the routines
<code>MatGetArray()/MatRestoreArray()</code> has been changed from
<code>integer</code> to <code>PetscOffset</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>DA (Distributed Arrays):</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Changed <code>DAGetDistributedVector()</code> and
<code>DAGetLocalVector()</code> to
<code>DACreateGlobalVector()</code> and
<code>DACreateLocalVector()</code>. You should destroy these
vectors with a usual call to <code>VecDestroy()</code>.
</li>
<li>
The third argument for the Fortran version of the routine
<code>DAGetGlobalIndices()</code> has been changed from
<code>integer</code> to <code>PetscOffset</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>VEC (Vectors):</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Added <code>VecSetBlockSize(), VecSetValuesBlocked(),
VecSetValuesBlockedLocal(),
VecSetLocalToGlobalMappingBlocked()</code>
</li>
<li>
Added<code> VecCreatedShared(),</code> which creates
a parallel vector in shared memory on the SGI machines
</li>
<li>
Changed
<code>VEC_IGNORE_OFF_PROCESSOR_ENTRIES</code> to
<code>VEC_IGNORE_OFF_PROC_ENTRIES</code>
</li>
<li>
The third argument for the Fortran versions of the routines
<code>VecGetArray()/VecRestoreArray(),</code> has been changed from
<code>integer</code> to <code>PetscOffset</code>. See
src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex5f.F for example usage.
</li>
<li>
<code>VecGetArray(), VecRestoreArray()</code> now work from Fortran on
all machines, finally after 3 long years!
</li>
<li>
Changed the calling sequence of
<code>VecCreate()</code>, now takes both local and global size,
see the manual page.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>IS (Index Sets):</h4>
<ul>
<li>
The third argument for the Fortran versions of the routines
<code>ISGetIndices()/ISRestoreIndices()</code> has been changed from
<code>integer</code> to <code>PetscOffset</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Draw (Graphics):</h4>
<h4>Viewers:</h4>
<h4>System:</h4>
<h4>Error Handling:</h4>
<h4>Event Logging:</h4>
<h4>Fortran Interface:</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<code>PETSC_NULL</code> has been replaced with
<code>PETSC_NULL_INTEGER</code>,
<code>PETSC_NULL_SCALAR</code>,
<code>PETSC_NULL_DOUBLE</code> or
<code>PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER</code> depending on the context for
usage. If the function expects an integer, a scalar (double or
complex depending if you compile with BOPT=*_complex), a double
precision array, or a string.
</li>
<li>
The Fortran include files are now located in the
directory "include/finclude/*.", rather than
"include/FINCLUDE/*.h". The include files that used to be
in "include/finclude/*.h" (not recommended) are now in
"include/foldinclude/*.h"
</li>
<li>
If you have stored PETSc objects in Fortran integer
arrays, such as <code>user(3) = vec</code> you have
to declare those arrays to be of type
<code>PetscFortranAddr</code> instead of as integer. Note that
<code>PetscFortranAddr</code> is simply integer on 32 bit
machines and integer*8 on 64 bit machines.
</li>
<li>
The Fortran90-specific routines such as
<code>VecGetArrayF90()</code> now work with the IBM Fortran
compiler, the SGI Fortran 90 compiler, and the Cray T3E Fortran
compiler.
</li>
<li>
PETSc objects can now be passed between C and Fortran directly. You do
not have to use the commands
<code>PetscCObjectToFortranObject()</code> and
<code>PetscFortranObjectToCObject()</code> to translate the objects
between languages.
</li>
<li>
Changed Fortran object argument from type int to type PetscFortranAddr
in the routines <code>PetscCObjectToFortranObject()</code> and
<code>PetscFortranObjectToCObject().</code>
</li>
<li>
Added the routine <code>PetscInitializeFortran()</code> to assist
in mixed-language use of PETSc. See the manual page for details.
</li>
</ul>
