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

10```
11
12- Add `PETSCPYTHONPATH` to the generated `$PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib/petsc/conf/petscvariables` file so it is available to users through the makefile system
13- Add `PETSCPYTHONPATH` to the generated `$PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib/pkgconfig/PETSc.pc` file so it is available to users with
14  `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --variable=PETSCPYTHONPATH PETSc.pc`
15- Add `EXTRA_OPTIONS_INITIAL` to the test system, which prepends options

17```{rubric} Configure/Build:
18```
19
20- Change `make sphinxhtml` in the `doc` directory to be `make docs`

22- Add support for `--download-xxx`, `--with-xxx`, and `-with-xxx-dir` for Python packages that install with pip. See `packages.py`
23- Change `make alletags` to `make etags`
24- Deactivate Fortran bindings of SuperLU_DIST and ExodusII by default, but they can still be built with the configure options `--with-superlu_dist-fortran-bindings` and `--with-exodusii-fortran-bindings`, respectively
25- Add `--with-python-exec-from-env=python` to allow providing the Python to be used by mpi4py and petsc4py without hard-wiring the full path at ./configure time
