3% STYLE GUIDELINES:
4% * Capitalize sentences
5% * Use imperative, e.g., Add, Improve, Change, etc.
6% * Don't use a period (.) at the end of entries
7% * If multiple sentences are needed, use a period or semicolon to divide sentences, but not at the end of the final sentence

11
12- Add `PetscCtxDestroyFn` as the prototype for all context destroy functions. It is `PetscErrorCode ()(void **)`. Previously some context destructor
13  setters took `PetscErrorCode ()(void *)`. But these would not work directly with PETSc objects as contexts and having two different
14  context destructor models added unneeded complexity to the library. This change is not backward compatible
15- Deprecate `PetscContainerSetUserDestroy()` with `PetscContainerSetCtxDestroy()`, updating will require a small change in calling code
16- Deprecate `PetscContainerCtxDestroyDefault` with `PetscCtxDestroyDefault()`
17- Add `PetscIntViewNumColumns()`, `PetscScalarViewNumColumns()`, and `PetscRealViewNumColumns()`
18- Change `PetscGetKokkosExecutionSpace()` to return the `Kokkos::DefaultExecutionSpace` object instead of a reference to it
19

145
146```{rubric} FE/FV:
147```
148
149- Add `PetscFEGeomMode`
150- Change `PetscFEGeomCreate()`, `DMFieldCreateFEGeom()`, and `DMSNESGetFEGeom()` to take `PetscFEGeomMode`
151
152```{rubric} DMNetwork:
153```
154
155```{rubric} DMStag:
156```
157
158```{rubric} DT:
159```
160

162- Add `PetscProbComputeKSStatisticWeighted()` and `PetscProbComputeKSStatisticMagnitude()`
163
164```{rubric} Fortran:
165```
166
167- Deprecate all Fortran function names with the suffix F90 with the equivalent function name without the suffix F90. Functions such as `VecGetArray()`
168  now take a Fortran pointer as arguments and hence behave like the deprecated `VecGetArrayF90()`
169- 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
170- Add `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER_ARRAY`, `PETSC_NULL_SCALAR_ARRAY`, and `PETSC_NULL_REAL_ARRAY` for use instead of
171  `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER`, `PETSC_NULL_SCALAR`, and `PETSC_NULL_REAL` when an input array is expected in a PETSc function call but not
172  provided by the user
173- Add `PETSC_NULL_INTEGER_POINTER` for arguments that return as arrays, for example, `PetscInt, pointer :: idx(:)` but not needed by the user.
174- Add automatically generated interface definitions for most PETSc functions to detect illegal usage at compile time
175- Add `PetscObjectIsNull()` for users to check if a PETSc object is `NULL`. All PETSc objects are now null when they are declared
176- 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()`
177- Use of `case(e)` where `e` is any PETSc enum variable or value must be changed to `PetscEnumCase(e)` or `case(e%v)`
178- `MatInfo` and similar are now derived data types instead of arrays, use e.g. `matinfo%nz_allocated` to access their components
