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

9```{rubric} General:
10```
11
12- Change behavior of `-options_left` when set to `true`: it no longer triggers a call to `PetscOptionsView()`
13- Change $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/bin/petscfreesharedmemory to $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/bin/petscfreesharedmemory.sh
14
15```{rubric} Configure/Build:
16```
17
18- Make `SYCL` a `devicePackage`, i.e., builds `--with-sycl` now have `PETSC_HAVE_DEVICE` defined
19- Add the option `--with-devicelanguage` to compile `PetscDevice` code using either a C or C++ compiler
20- Add `Caliper`, an instrumentation and performance profiling library that can be used to profile `Hypre`.
21- Add typing stubs for the Python extension module `petsc4py.PETSc`.
22
23```{rubric} Sys:
24```
25
26- Add `PetscCallHYPRE()` to check HYPRE error codes and print error messages on failure
27- Add `PetscBTCountSet()` to count set bits in `PetscBT`
28- Add the option `-hypre_umpire_device_pool_size <n>` to set the Umpire device memory pool size (in MiB), which is used by HYPRE and 4 Gib by default
29
30
31```{rubric} Event Logging:
32```
33
34- Add two approaches for GPU energy monitoring:  `-log_view_gpu_energy` and `-log_view_gpu_energy_meter`
35- Add API `PetscLogGpuEnergy()`, `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeter()`, `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeterBegin()` and `PetscLogGpuEnergyMeterEnd()` for GPU energy monitoring
36
37```{rubric} PetscViewer:
38```
39
40- Change the final argument of `PetscViewerGLVisSetFields()` to `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
41
42```{rubric} PetscDraw:
43```
44
45```{rubric} AO:
46```
47
48```{rubric} IS:
49```
50
51```{rubric} VecScatter / PetscSF:
52```
53
54```{rubric} PF:
55```
56
57```{rubric} Vec:
58```
59
60```{rubric} PetscSection:
61```
62
63- Add `PetscSectionMigrateData()`, akin to `DMPlexDistributeData()`
64
65```{rubric} PetscPartitioner:
66```
67
68```{rubric} Mat:
69```
70
71- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `MatShellSetMatProductOperation()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
72- Remove `MatMissingDiagonal()`. Developers should use `MatGetDiagonalMarkers_SeqXXX()` when the functionality is needed
73- Change `MatSetOption(A, MAT_HERMITIAN, PETSC_TRUE)` for `MatSBAIJ` to no longer automatically set the option `MAT_SYMMETRIC` to `PETSC_FALSE`. It is now the duty of the user to call `MatSetOption(A, MAT_SYMMETRIC, PETSC_FALSE)` if a `MatSBAIJ` is Hermitian but not symmetric
74- Deprecate `-matmatmult_Bbn` in favor of `-matproduct_batch_size`
75
76```{rubric} MatCoarsen:
77```
78
79```{rubric} PC:
80```
81
82- Add multi-precision support for MUMPS. One could use `-pc_precision <single, double>` to set the precision to be used by MUMPS, which can be different from `PetscScalar`'s precision
83- Add support for MUMPS out-of-core facility with the option `-mat_mumps_ooc_tmpdir <dir>` and new functions `MatMumpsSetOocTmpDir()`, `MatMumpsGetOocTmpDir()`
84
85```{rubric} KSP:
86```
87
88- Remove `KSPHPDDMPrecision` in favor of `PetscPrecision`
89
90```{rubric} SNES:
91```
92
93- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `SNESSetConvergenceTest()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
94- Add `SNESSetObjectiveDomainError()`
95- Change `SNES_DIVERGED_FNORM_NAN` to `SNES_DIVERGED_FUNCTION_NANORINF`
96- Add `SNES_DIVERGED_OBJECTIVE_NANORINF`
97- Add `SNES_DIVERGED_OBJECTIVE_DOMAIN`
98- Add developer functions `SNESCheckFunctionDomainError()`, `SNESLineSearchCheckFunctionDomainError()`, `SNESCheckObjectiveDomainError()`, `SNESLineSearchCheckObjectiveDomainError()`, `SNESCheckJacobianDomainError()`, and `SNESLineSearchCheckJacobianDomainError()`
99
100```{rubric} SNESLineSearch:
101```
102
103```{rubric} TS:
104```
105
106- Add `TSPseudoComputeFunction()` to get nonlinear residual while avoiding recalculation if possible
107- Remove unused `TSPseudoVerifyTimeStepDefault()`
108- Remove `TSPseudoComputeTimeStep()` and `TSPseudoVerifyTimeStep()`
109- Change the `destroy()` function argument of `TSTrajectorySetTransform()` to type `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
110- Correct option `-ts_max_reject` to `-ts_max_step_rejections`
111- Correct option `-ts_dt` to `-ts_time_step`
112
113```{rubric} TAO:
114```
115
116```{rubric} PetscRegressor:
117```
118
119```{rubric} DM/DA:
120```
121
122- Change the final argument of `DMShellSetDestroyContext()` to `PetscCtxDestroyFn *`. This means the destroy function must dereference the argument before operating on it
123- Add `DMLabelGetValueISGlobal()` to get globally consistent `IS` of values in a `DMLabel`
124
125```{rubric} DMSwarm:
126```
127
128```{rubric} DMPlex:
129```
130
131- Add `DMPlexVecGetClosureAtDepth()`
132- Add an extra communicator argument to `DMPlexFilter()` to allow extracting local meshes
133- Add `DMPlexGetLETKFLocalizationMatrix` to compute localization weight matrix for LETKF
134- Change `verticesAdjSaved` parameter in `DMPlexCreateFromCell*Parallel*()` functions to be allocated by function rather than by user
135
136```{rubric} FE/FV:
137```
138
139```{rubric} DMNetwork:
140```
141
142```{rubric} DMStag:
143```
144
145```{rubric} DT:
146```
147
148```{rubric} Fortran:
149```
150
151- Replace `./configure` option `--with-mpi-f90module-visibility` with `--with-mpi-ftn-module=<mpi or mpi_f08>`
152- Add `PETSC_INT_KIND` and `PETSC_MPIINT_KIND`
153- Fortran code should now use `MPIU_Comm` instead of `MPI_Comm`, and similarly for other MPI types, see section "Fortran and MPI" in the users guide
154- Fortran interface definitions are now automatically generated for all functions that take context variable arguments, represented in the C source code with a type of `PetscCtx`, allowing the use of any Fortran derived type (or PETSc object) as the context
155- For all PETSc functions `XXXGetYYY()` that return a context variable as an argument, represented in the C source code with an argument type of `PetscCtxRt`, a macro is generated used with `Interface_XXXGetYYY(AppCtx)` which tells the Fortran compiler that a pointer to that derived type `type(AppCtx)` is returned from the Fortran version of `XXXGetYYY()`.
