preCICE Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. For future plans, see our Roadmap.

1.3.0

Update of build procedure for python bindings (see precice/src/bindings/python/README.md for instructions). Note: you do not have to add PySolverInterface.so to PYTHONPATH manually anymore, if you want to use it in your adapter. Python should be able to find it automatically.
Make naming of log files consistent, following the pattern precice-SOLVERNAME-logtype.log, example: precice-FLUID-eventTimings.log
Enable boost.geometry based preallocation. Speeds up initialization of PetRBF based mapping.
Actions can now specify a MeshRequirement, such as the ScaleByAreaAction.
Many events have been reworked and are now uniformly named.
There is a syncMode for events (for detailed performance measurements), configurable and off by default.

Make polynomial=separate the default setting for PetRBF.
Removed ExportVRML functionality
Build system:
- Make python=off default.
Building with Conda:
- The helper scripts are now placed in the directory tools/conda_building. All the terms refering to Anaconda have been changed to Conda.
Sending data exchange is now fully asynchronous, so that the sending participant never waits for the receiving one.
Rename src/precice/adapters to src/precice/bindings
adding libprefix option in scons build process to allow for non-standard library paths

Fix SConstruct symlink build target failing when using lowercase build (debug, release) names.

Build system:
- Remove the staticlib and bin from the default targets to reduce the building time and storage requirements.
- Change build types to mixed case, i.e. Debug and Release. Old versions are retained for backward compatibility.
- Make mpicxx default setting for compiler.
- Experiemental support for building with Conda, see tools/anaconda_building
- Use NumPy to figure out Python include paths.
- Search for PETSc in more paths
- Add experimental CMake build control files.
Add a job command file for the SuperMUC HPC system in tools.
compileAndTest.py Change the -b option to -t, do not crash when ./tests do no exist, make mpirun command configurable
Use libxml2 for XML parsing, this makes libxml2-dev a dependency.
Update EventTimings framework.
Add python script to plot Events on a timeline.
PETSc RBF mapping now supports conservative mapping with a separated polynomial
Converted all tests to the new, boost test based, unit testing framework.
Removed the tarch legacy library.
Use boost::signal2 for implement observer pattern for the Mesh class.
Add contributer guidelines.

Fix bug in the mesh repartitioning for plane-like coupling interfaces and small gaps between both sides.
