# Changes: 3.23

% STYLE GUIDELINES:
% * Capitalize sentences
% * Use imperative, e.g., Add, Improve, Change, etc.
% * Don't use a period (.) at the end of entries
% * If multiple sentences are needed, use a period or semicolon to divide sentences, but not at the end of the final sentence

```{rubric} General:
```

- Add `PetscCtxDestroyFn` as the prototype for all context destroy functions. It is `PetscErrorCode ()(void **)`. Previously some context destructor
  setters took `PetscErrorCode ()(void *)`. But these would not work directly with PETSc objects as contexts and having two different
  context destructor models added unneeded complexity to the library. This change is not backward compatible
- Deprecate `PetscContainerSetUserDestroy()` with `PetscContainerSetCtxDestroy()`, updating will require a small change in calling code
- Deprecate `PetscContainerCtxDestroyDefault` with `PetscCtxDestroyDefault()`
- Add `PetscIntViewNumColumns()`, `PetscScalarViewNumColumns()`, and `PetscRealViewNumColumns()`
- Change `PetscGetKokkosExecutionSpace()` to return the `Kokkos::DefaultExecutionSpace` object instead of a reference to it

```{rubric} Configure/Build:

```{rubric} FE/FV:

```{rubric} Fortran:
```

- Deprecate all Fortran function names with the suffix F90 with the equivalent function name without the suffix F90. Functions such as `VecGetArray()`
  now take a Fortran pointer as arguments and hence behave like the deprecated `VecGetArrayF90()`
- Add `PETSC_NULL_ENUM_XXX` to be used instead of `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER` when a pointer to an XXX `enum` is expected in a PETSc function call
- Add `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER_ARRAY`, `PETSC_NULL_SCALAR_ARRAY`, and `PETSC_NULL_REAL_ARRAY` for use instead of
  `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER`, `PETSC_NULL_SCALAR`, and `PETSC_NULL_REAL` when an input array is expected in a PETSc function call but not
  provided by the user
- Add `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER_POINTER` for arguments that return as arrays, for example, `PetscInt, pointer :: idx(:)` but not needed by the user.
- Add automatically generated interface definitions for most PETSc functions to detect illegal usage at compile time
- Add `PetscObjectIsNull()` for users to check if a PETSc object is `NULL`. All PETSc objects are now null when they are declared
- Change the PETSc Fortran API so that non-array values, `v`, passed to PETSc routines expecting arrays must be cast with `[v]` in the calling sequence. For example, with `VecSetValues()`
- Use of `case(e)` where `e` is any PETSc enum variable or value must be changed to `PetscEnumCase(e)` or `case(e%v)`
- `MatInfo` and similar are now derived data types instead of arrays, use e.g. `matinfo%nz_allocated` to access their components
