1# Changes for each release
2
3We will continually add new features and enhanced functionality in
4upcoming releases; **small changes in usage and calling sequences of
5PETSc routines will continue to occur**. We use the C/C++ deprecation
6feature (which prints deprecation warnings) to allow users to continue
7to use older interfaces until they update their codes. Although keeping one's code
8accordingly up-to-date can be annoying, all PETSc users will be
9rewarded in the long run with a cleaner, better designed, and
10easier-to-use interface.
11
12We suggest that users who want to upgrade their current PETSc
13application codes from a particular version to the most recent
14release proceed through the changes listed in this file in increasing
15order of version numbers. (Note: One can determine the release number
16of any current PETSc installation by looking in the file
17include/petscversion.h) Many of the interface changes can be handled
18quickly and easily by using global replacement via your favorite text
19editor.
