Change log
==========

The new change log for DOLFINx is maintained using `GitHub Releases
<https://github.com/FEniCS/dolfinx/releases>`_.

Below are the historical change logs related to the previous generation `DOLFIN
solver <https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/>`_.

2018.2.0.dev0
-------------

- No changes

2018.1.0.dev0 (no release)
--------------------------

- Forked DOLFINx

2017.2.0 (2017-12-05)
---------------------

- Remove ``UnitQuadMesh`` and ``UnitHexMesh``. Now use ``UnitSquareMesh`` and
  ``UnitCubeMesh`` with cell type qualifiers.
- Remove ``MeshEditor::open`` without cell type. Now you must explicitly
  specify CellType when opening a ``Mesh`` with ``MeshEditor``.
- Rename ``Mesh::size_global`` to ``Mesh::num_entities_global``.
- Remove ``Mesh::size``. Use ``Mesh::num_entities`` instead.
- Improved mesh topology computation performance.
- Remove excessive calls to MPI init. It may now be necessary in some
  cases to explicitly initialise MPI.
- Improvements to sparsity pattern computation.
- Addition of some interfaces using ``Eigen::Map/ref`` in addition to
  ``dolfin::Array(View)``.  ``dolfin::Array(View)``interfaces will be
  removed in favour of Eigen interfaces in the next release.
- Update pkg-config (dolfin.pc) file.
- CMake modernisations, with more use of exported targets.
- Add experimental pybind11 generated Python interface. Will replace
  the SWIG generated interface in the 2018.1 release.
- Remove redundant SLEPc interfaces. Fixes issue `#908
  <https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/issues/908>`_.
- Bump required Boost version to 1.55.
- Remove PETScUserPreconditioner (was unused and untested).
- Remove VTK plotting backend. Plotting is no longer available from
  the C++ interface. Basic plotting is available using ``matplotlib``
  and ``x3dom`` backends via the ``plot()`` free function in the
  Python interface. Users are advised to move to e.g.  Paraview for
  more demanding plotting needs.
- Updates for ``ufc::finite_element::evaluate_vertex_values``
  interface change.
- Add new methods ``XDMFFile::write_checkpoint``,
  ``XDMFFile::read_checkpoint`` to write and read (checkpoint)
  functions.
- Implement marking vertex and edge mesh functions by
  ``SubDomain::mark()`` using ``on_boundary`` flag.
- Fix quadratic scaling in PETSc matrix allocation with global dofs;
  assembly with ``Real`` space now exhibits linear scaling in number
  of dofs.
- Add assembly for quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes with CG and DG
  elements.
- Updates for some demos and tests to show usage of quadrilateral and
  hexahedral meshes.
- Deprecate ``CellSize`` (equivalent to ``2*Circumradius``)
  in favour of new ``CellDiameter``; add ``MinCellEdgeLength``
  and ``MaxCellEdgeLength``
- Deprecate subclassing of ``Expression`` in Python; new Python class
  ``UserExpression`` introduced for user overloads
- Deprecate ``VertexFunction``, ``EdgeFunction``, ``FaceFunction``,
  ``FacetFunction``, ``CellFunction``; use ``MeshFunction`` instead


2017.1.0 (2017-05-09)
---------------------

- Refactor PETScLUSolver to use functionality from
  PETScKrylovSolver. Simplify interface for solving transposed
  systems. Fixes #815.
- Switch default Python version to Python 3. Use
  `-DDOLFIN_USE_PYTHON3=off` to build with Python 2.
- Remove redundant ``solve_transpose`` functions (use solve with bool
  argument instead)
- Remove OpenMpAsssmebler
- Remove MPI communicator as argument in GenericVector::init functions
  (communicator should be passed via constructor)
- Remove ``Function::operator[+-*/]`` to prevent memory corruption problems
  (does not affect Python interface)
- Fix XDMF3 output of time series. The default output method is now to assume
  that all functions have different meshes, and that the meshes change from
  time step to time step. Two parameters control the output, one limits each
  function to only one mesh for the whole time series, turn off the default
  on parameter ``rewrite_function_mesh`` to enable this. You can also make
  all functions share the same mesh and time series, which currently is better
  supported in Paraview than the alternative, turn on ``functions_share_mesh``
  for this. These two parameters can also be combined in case all functions
  share the same mesh at all time steps. This creates minimal size files.
- Add ``PETScSNESSolver`` and ``PETScTAOSolver`` constructor accepting
  both communicator and type
- Expression("f[0]*f[1]", f=obj) notation now supported for non-scalar
  GenericFunction obj
- Expression("f", f=obj) notation now supports obj of MeshFunction types
  (only cell based)
- Fix MPI deadlock in case of instant compilation failure
- Allow using ``Timer`` as context manager and add ``timed`` decorator
  to measure timings of functions and methods
- Add ``NonlinearProblem::J_pc`` and support preconditioning matrix in
  ``NewtonSolver``, ``PETScSNESSolver`` and ``PETScTAOSolver``

2016.2.0 [2016-11-30]
---------------------

- Updates to XDMFFile interface, now fully supporting MeshFunction and
  MeshValueCollection with multiple named datasets in one file (useful for
  volume/boundary markers). Time series now only when a time is explicitly
  specified for each step. Full support for ASCII/XML XDMF.
- Improved X3DOM support
- Improved detection of UFC

2016.1.0 [2016-06-23]
---------------------
- Remove support for 'uint'-valued MeshFunction (replaced by 'size_t')

  two with gcc and four with clang. Reduced memory usage for meshes
  with irregularly numbered cells.

  classes
- Remove PETScPreconditioner::set_near_nullspace and add
  PETScMatrix::set_near_nullspace
- Build system updates for VTK 7.0
- Remove XDMF from File interface. XDMF is XML based, and has many
  possibilities for file access, which are not accessible through the
  limited File interface and "<<" ">>" operators. Instead of File, use
  XDMFFile, and use XDMFFile.read() and XDMFFile.write() for
  I/O. Demos and tests have been updated to show usage.  XDMF now also
  supports ASCII I/O in serial, useful for compatibility with users
  who do not have the HDF5 library available.
- Require polynomial degree or finite element for Expressions in the
  Python interface (fixes Issue #355,
  https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/issues/355)
- Switch to Google Test framework for C++ unit tests
- Fix bug when reading domain data from mesh file for a ghosted mesh
- Add interface for manipulating mesh geometry using (higher-order) FE
  functions: free functions set_coordinates, get_coordinates,
  create_mesh
- Fix bug when reading domain data from mesh file for a ghosted mesh.
- Remove reference versions of constructors for many classes that
  store a pointer/reference to the object passed to the
  constructor. This is an intrusive interface change for C++ users,
  but necessary to improve code maintainabilty and to improve memory
  safety. The Python interface is (virtually) unaffected.
- Remove class SubSpace. Using FunctionSpace::sub(...) instead
- Remove reference versions constructors of NonlinearVariationalSolver
- Remove setting of bounds from NonlinearVariationalSolver (was
  already available through NonlinearVariationalProblem)

  refinement pattern based on max/min edge ratio
- Removed refine_cell() method in CellTypes
- Enable marker refinement to work in parallel for 1D meshes too

- Deprecate MixedFunctionSpace and EnrichedFunctionSpace in favour of
  initialization by suitable UFL element
