preCICE v2.2.0 Release Notes

    • ➕ Added a file sink to the test runner, which additionally writes the test log output to the file test.log.
    • ➕ Added a verbose log file test.debug.log to tests. Submitting this file alongside bug reports will significantly simplify debugging the tests.
    • ➕ Added check for user-defined python actions.
    • ➕ Added check to ensure advance() isn't called with invalid timestep size.
    • ➕ Added error message for incorrectly configured acceleration data in a serial implicit coupling scheme.
    • ➕ Added missing documentation to XML tags and attributes.
    • ➕ Added support for BUILD_TESTING, which may be used to disable the compilation and execution of the tests.
    • ➕ Added support for escaped characters in XML.
    • ➕ Added the build configuration (Release/Debug) to the preCICE startup statement and inform the user when Debug an Trace logs are not available.
    • ➕ Added watch-integral functionality to, for instance, compute total force, total stress, or flow rate at coupling mesh.
    • 🔄 Changed an error to a warning when all sub-vectors of the residual-sum preconditioner are numerically zero.
    • 🔄 Changed the CMake FindPETSc module to a robust wrapper based on pkg-config. The new method is more robust and simplifies the compilation of preCICE in e.g. SLURM jobs.
    • 🔄 Changed the log format for tests. They now contain the participant name and are |-separated.
    • Clarified the wording of errors messages in data access functions. They now refer to vertex IDs instead of indices.
    • 🚀 Deprecated API method getMeshIDs. Call getMeshID for specific mesh names instead. This method will be removed in a future release.
    • 🔧 Extended configuration and repartitioning to allow the user to define multiple mappings from and/or to the same mesh.
    • 🛠 Fixed MacOS compilation and test errors.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug in ReceivedPartition which led to problems when coupling multiple participants.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug in the configuration of Aitken underrelexation.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue when running the tests with Intel MPI.
    • 🛠 Fixed an occasional issue solving the system matrix in PETSc-based RBF mappings.
    • 🛠 Fixed boost log_level issues on MacOS.
    • 🛠 Fixed compilation error emitted by intel compilers.
    • 🛠 Fixed cryptic assertion for forgetting the max-iterations tag. Now max-iterations is enforced in the configuration.
    • 🛠 Fixed indexing bug in solverdummies.
    • 🛠 Fixed input checks for data access functions.
    • 🛠 Fixed interleaved assertion output.
    • 🛠 Fixed parameter type of operator"" in TestContext, which was a system-dependant error.
    • 🛠 Fixed parsing error on systems without locales installed. This fixes issues when running preCICE in minimal docker containers.
    • Fixed syntax of the Fortran function precicef_get_mesh_vertex_size_, which lead to incorrect name de-mangling.
    • 🛠 Fixed the data type and precision in exported VTK files.
    • 🛠 Fixed two wrong assertions in QR factorization, which did not allow meshes with only a single partition.
    • 👌 Improved checks of configuration related to data access.
    • 👌 Improved compiler compatibility of assertion.
    • 👌 Improved the error message for not exchanging data over the same mesh used for convergence measures.
    • Increased the minimum required C++ version from 11 to 14. This was triggered by Boost.Geometry increasing their minimum version to C++14 in Boost 1.75.
    • ✂ Removed obsolete trigger-solver-plot config option.
